Watermelon Popsicles
Servings: 3
These watermelon popsicles are just ripe melon and strawberries, blended and frozen into bright pink pops with no added sugar. Each one is 46 calories, and you can tuck in a handful of spinach without anyone noticing.
Ingredients
- 2 cup watermelon seeded and cubed
- 1 cup strawberries
Instructions
- Place the watermelon and strawberries in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and insert popsicle sticks.
- Freeze for several hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- Mold Size: Popsicle molds vary in size. This recipe is based on 3/4-cup (6-ounce) molds, and small paper or silicone cups work too.
- Sweetness Tip: Taste the puree before pouring. If your watermelon isn't very sweet, blend in a few more strawberries.
- Add Greens: Blend in 1/2 cup spinach or another mild leafy green. The color will turn darker.
- Freezing: To unmold, run the outside of the mold under warm water for 10 to 15 seconds. Store the unmolded popsicles in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 1 month.
