What is Mangonada Paletas (Popsicles)

These popsicles draw inspiration from the delightful Mexican beverages known as Mangonadas, crafted from mangoes, lime juice, Chamoy, and Tajin. These mango and chamoy paletas are my favorite icy treats to enjoy during the summer! ‘Paleta’ is the Spanish word for popsicle or lollipop. I love them because they are made with natural ingredients and can be a healthier snack depending on the flavor.
