Why I Love This Recipe!

Easy To Make! Simply toss the ingredients into a blender and blend then pour into popsicle molds and freeze!
Healthy! Ever read the ingredients on a box of ice pops? They’re typically loaded with artificial flavors and high fructose corn syrup. These healthy popsicles are a great alternative that kids will still LOVE!
Make Them Ahead! Make them the night before, day, or even week before you’ll be serving them!
Feeds A Crowd! This recipe delivers about a dozen watermelon ice pops depending on the size of your molds! If you need more it’s super easy to just pop them out of the molds once they’re frozen, store them in the freezer in a Ziploc bag, and then freeze another batch!

Ingredient Notes

This Watermelon Popsicle Recipe comes together with easy, minimal ingredients! It’s even a great way to use up that leftover watermelon that’s kicking around the house after a beach day or BBQ.

No food waste AND you get a super yummy cold treat from it! Everyone wins! All you need to freeze up a batch are:

Watermelon – Grab a big, fresh watermelon!
Granulated Sugar – Brings out more sweet flavor in these popsicles.
Lime Juice – I used fresh squeezed, but you can also grab a bottle of 100% lime juice if you prefer! You could also use lemon juice.

What’s really great about this recipe is how forgiving it is when it comes to sugar and lime! You can add as little or as much as you want of either to suit your own taste!

You can also have a lot of fun trying new flavors of this recipe just by simply adding in other fruit. For example, toss some strawberries into the blender as well to create a strawberry watermelon popsicle!

Have some leftover fruit your kids didn’t eat this week? Perfect, throw it in the blender and see what kind of delicious ice pops you can come up with!
