By Macaroni KID June 14, 2022

Watermelon is a summer staple. It doesn't get much better than just slicing up a watermelon and enjoying it fresh, but if you are looking for new ways to use up watermelon, we have the answer: Watermelon Pops!

Kids will love this simple sweet treat, and you'll love that it has no added sugar. 

Watermelon Pops

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 cups of seedless watermelon chunks
  • 1-2 tbsp of fresh lime juice

Directions: 

  1. Add watermelon and lime juice to a blender and puree. (You can strain if you want to get rid of chunks.)
  2. Pour into your ice pop molds, leaving about an inch gap at the top for expansion, and freeze.

Makes 6-8 ice pops in typically-sized molds.

Variations:

Want to mix it up? Here are some ways to make watermelon pops even more delish:

  • Throw in a few strawberries to add some extra natural sweetness.
  • Add a few mint leaves when pureeing to create a watermelon mint pop. Divine.
  • Add about 1/2 cup of coconut milk to the puree to make deliciously creamy treats.
