Watermelon Wednesday: Refreshing Watermelon Popsicles

 

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of watermelon, cubed

• 1/2 cup of strawberries, hulled

• 1 tablespoon of lime juice

• 2 tablespoons of honey (optional, for added sweetness)

• Popsicle molds

• Popsicle sticks

 

Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients.

Start by cubing the watermelon and hulling the strawberries. Make sure to remove any seeds from the watermelon to ensure a smooth texture.

​

Blend the Fruit:

In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes, strawberries, lime juice, and honey. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

​

Taste and Adjust:

Taste the blended mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey and blend again until well mixed.

​

Pour into Molds:

Carefully pour the blended fruit mixture into the popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion when freezing.

​

Insert Popsicle Sticks:

Place the popsicle sticks into the molds. If your molds don’t have slots for the sticks, cover the molds with a piece of foil and poke the sticks through the foil to keep them in place.

 

Freeze:

Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely solid.

​

Remove from Molds:

To remove the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them. Gently pull the popsicles out.

 

Enjoy:

Serve the watermelon popsicles immediately for a refreshing and healthy treat.

 

Tips:

• For a fun variation, try adding some chopped mint leaves to the blender for a refreshing twist.

• You can also mix in some yogurt to make creamy watermelon popsicles.

 

These watermelon popsicles are perfect for a hot summer day and are sure to be a hit with the kids. Enjoy your Watermelon Wednesday with this delightful and easy-to-make treat!
