Peach Mango Ice Cream
This three ingredient, Peach Mango Ice Cream, comes together in a hurry with the help of Kool-Aid Fruit Drink. It’s a great way to keep cool this summer after enjoying your favorite outdoor activities! Thanks to the many Kool-Aid products, it’s easy to #KoolOff this summer!
Being a mom with 3 teenagers can be exhausting sometimes. I never seem to know if I’m coming or going most days.
I grew up drinking Kool-Aid …. Lemon Lime was (and still is!) my favorite! Did you have a favorite flavor growing up? Green Kool-Aid was a necessary part of my Sunday morning breakfast – thanks to my Aunt Tina! Hehe!! Now that I’m a mom, I enjoy making similar memories with my kids and Kool-Aid.
The other day, I was shopping at my local Wal-Mart and spotted the new 96 oz. Ready-To-Drink Kool-Aid bottles – they’re on the same aisle as the juice and other fruit drinks! I love the new convenient size of this family-favorite beverage! I picked up the Tropical Punch because it’s my boys’ favorite!
My boys are pretty active – they love playing sports and physical activity in general. They are boys after all. One of the things I am very conscious of, is making sure they stay hydrated in the Arizona heat! Summer can be brutally hot in the Sonoran Desert, but that doesn’t stop them from doing the things they love!
Like playing basketball or football. Or going for a run around the neighborhood, just for “the fun of it.”
One of the ways they stay cool is by throwing the football at the splash pad …. or by letting the buckets of water dump on them. 🙂
Or doing the Riverdance while playing basketball ….. LOL!! Ok, not really …. but that’s what it looks like Elijah’s doing!!
Stay cool with Kool-Aid
The other way they stay cool and hydrated is with Kool-Aid! It makes water fun! And flavorful. And not just “boring water” as my kids like to tell me. It’s a lot easier to convince them to drink up when it’s something they love!
While I was at Walmart, I picked up this Peach Mango Kool-Aid drink mix too – I thought it would be fun to make an ice cream for the boys after their day in the sun. With only three ingredients, it couldn’t be easier! I can’t wait to try this with the canister of Grape Kool-Aid drink mix next!!
Have you seen the new 96 oz. Ready-To-Drinks bottle of Kool-Aid at your local Wal-Mart? Of the three flavors – which one would you like to try first … Tropical Punch, Grape or Watermelon? Also, just an FYI:

Looks delicious and refreshing! I love mango, I'm sure it is awesome in ice cream.
Jamie, this ice cream sounds so easy and delicious – time for me to pull that ice cream maker out of the box! 🙂 I used to love Kool-Aid and we had it all the time growing up! Cherry was always my favorite – I think I need to have some soon!
Jamie, I seriously can't believe you made ice cream with 3 ingredients! It looks so refreshing. I grew up on kool-aid too! Pinning!
Jamie, I can't wait to make this! I love mango and ice cream, what could be better! Pinned!
That is amazingly simple! I know I keep saying it, but this year I'm getting an ice cream maker. There's just too much goodness to be made not to have one. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friday
Hi Jamie,
Great idea and a great recipe! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome recipe with Full Plate Thursday. Hope you are having a great week and come back soon!

That ice cream looks more like a sorbetto, creamy and refreshing- a recipe I will have to pin for sure! #client
I was always partial to Tropical Punch and lived with a Kool Aid mustache all summer.
Have never seen ice cream made with Kool Aid…how fun!
