Watermelon Popsicles
Servings: 6 popsicles
Two simple ingredients is all it takes to make watermelon popsicles sweet enough to fall in love. Ask your kids to join in making this refreshing summer treat.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon seeded and cubed
- 1 cup strawberries
Instructions
- Place watermelon and strawberries in blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and insert popsicle sticks.
- Freeze several hours or preferably overnight before eating.
Notes
- Popsicle molds differ in capacity. For this recipe, we used 3/4 cup (6oz) molds. Paper of silicone cups can be used in place of the popsicle molds.
- Use the whole fruit instead of fruit juice. That way you keep the fiber that helps breakdown the natural sugar.
- Feel free to toss in some leafy greens to up the healthy benefits of these fruity popsicles! Add 1/2 cup leafy greens (spinach is a great option) and enjoy.
