Watermelon and Strawberry Popsicles

I love summer, long evenings, camping, days at the lake and all the yummy food and treats at a cook out! Does anything beat it? I really don’t think so. With the first summer celebration coming up on Wednesday (Canada Day!) Although were staying home and having a bbq for two (thanks COVID). I still wanted to find a refreshing, easy, healthy and delicious summer treat to make. Enter Watermelon and Strawberry popsicles! Not only are these delicious, but dessert is already made for Canada Day.

I wanted to create a popsicle that was healthy and guilt free. I find I reach for fruity treats often in the summer and I’d rather them be a healthy option. These popsicles are simply blended fruit! Yep that’s all, there’s nothing more to it.

Ingredients

• Watermelon
• Strawberries
• Lime Juice

Just blend your fruit together until smooth, pour into popsicle tray (I used this one), freeze and enjoy. Isn’t that insanely easy? Yep! These were fun to make too so I think it would be fun to involve your kids in making them as well.

I’m sure you noticed there was no sugar or sweetener in my ingredients list. That’s because I find the blended fruit plenty sweet enough. But if you want things a bit sweeter, or your fruit is a little under ripe you could add a tablespoon or two of honey. Of course you could just use sugar, but I like to keep this natural whenever possible. Plus honey and watermelon is a winning combination!

Now you could make these popsicles adult by spiking with your liquor of choice, you could add extra lime and tequila for a watermelon margarita popsicle (YUM!). Or place an unskilled popsicle in a glass of champagne or prosseco for a super fun cocktail! Just make sure you mark which tray is for the grown ups!

I know I’ll be making these all summer long and I hope you all do too! Enjoy and stay safe this Canada Day (and 4th of July).
