    Is there anything better than an ice cold popsicle on a hot summer day? There's only thing I can think ... a big slice of juicy watermelon!

    If you love popsicles and watermelon (and who doesn't?), then you have to try these amazing Watermelon Popsicles. These sweet, colorful fruit pops combine your two hot weather faves in one delicious treat.

    You and your kids are going to love these yummy fruit popsicles! They taste just like fresh watermelon, and according to my six year old niece (who helped me make them), they're good, very good, and (when pressed to be more descriptive) super good. And I have to agree!

    These refreshing fresh fruit popsicles are the ultimate summer treat, and they couldn't be easier to make.

    Don't let another day go by without making these heavenly fruit popsicles ... they taste like summer on a stick!

    Ingredients

    While you can certainly buy popscicles, the best thing about making your own real fruit popsicles is that you can control all the ingredients. No fake flavors, zero weird ingredients, and way less sugar.

    In fact, you only need three simple ingredients to make these ice lollies:

    • Watermelon - For best results choice the freshest, sweetest, juiciest one you can find.
    • Fresh Lime Juice - A little lime juice brightens the pop's fruity flavor.
    • Sugar - A touch of sugar enhances the watermelon's sweetness. For no sugar pops, leave it out (watermelon is naturally sweet after all), or for sweeter pops, add more.

    These Watermelon Popsicles aren't just tasty though, they're also healthy. Watermelon is packed with nutrients, and it's almost all water (92%). Which means it's hydrating and low-cal. Plus, they vegan, dairy free, and gluten-free ... so everyone can enjoy them!

    You'll Also Need

    You'll need a blender and a set of popsicle molds to make this recipe. I have these Koji Ice Popsicle Molds (which I used here), and these Tovolo Groovy Pop Molds. Both work great!

    How to Make Watermelon Popsicles

    These homemade Watermelon Ice Pops couldn't be easier to make. You'll find a detailed recipe below, but here's a quick overview of the steps:

    1. Prep the watermelon. Start by cutting the watermelon into one-inch cubes.
    2. Blend the fruit. Combine the watermelon, lime juice, and sugar in a blender, then puree the watermelon until it's totally smooth. It should only take a minute or two.If you want, you can strain the watermelon juice through a fine mesh strainer. It's not very pulpy though, so it's not 100% necessary.
    3. Fill the popsicle molds. Add the puree to the molds, leaving about a ½-inch of space at the top. My popsicle molds hold ⅓ cup each, so I got eight popsicles out of this recipe. Depending on the size of your molds, you may get more or less pops. If you have a little bit of leftover juice, drink it. It's so delicious!
    4. Freeze the popsicles. Transfer the popsicles to your freezer, then freeze them overnight or until they're solid. It will probably take at least four hours.

    One lick of these yummy fresh fruit popsicles, and you're sure to be in love. They taste just like biting into a slice of juicy watermelon.

    And since these tasty Watermelon Popsicles are so easy to make, you'll want to enjoy them all summer long. Go ahead ... treat yourself!

    I just made these for my kids last weekend. They were gone in a matter of days. The positive is that I didn't object to them having multiple watermelon pops per day since I knew exactly what was in them!
