02 - 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup

02 - Rinse the blender. Add diced mango, lime juice, and maple syrup. Blend until a thick, smooth fruit puree forms.
03 - Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of the coconut base into each popsicle mold. Spoon in mango puree, then alternate layers of coconut mixture and fruit puree until molds are filled.
