Watermelon + Popsicles = an awesome summer kids snack!
One of the items on our “Old School” Summer Bucket List was to make our own popsicles and it was a total success! Instead of using juice we came up with our own popsicle recipe that is both healthy and yummy!
How to Make Healthy Watermelon Popsicles
1. Blend chunks of fresh watermelon in the blender until it is smooth and juicy.
2. Pour the juice into popsicle molds or small paper cups. Place a small pile of mini chocolate chips on top of the watermelon juice.
3. They’ll stay suspended at the top and you can spread them throughout the popsicle container by pushing them into the juice with a knife or the bottom of a spoon.
4. Then stick them in the freezer until they’re frozen completely and enjoy!
They were a big hit with the kids (and my husband)!
We are having a blast doing the activities on our “Old School” Summer Bucket List! Make sure to read Pool Party Games: Marco Polo and stay tuned for even more old school fun this summer!

June 16, 2013 at 3:19 amMegan — adding mint chips is a brilliant idea! We’ve been making a lot of watermelon slushies lately (just blending up some watermelon into smoothies), and this takes it to another level. You can bet I’ll be doing this over the summer.

June 16, 2013 at 3:20 am🙂 um, that would be mini chocolate chips, not mint chips, right?! Fast typing gets me every time!

June 16, 2013 at 4:52 pmLOL! I love watermelon with mint and feta…maybe mint would be good in popsicles too!

June 23, 2013 at 9:04 amThis sounds look a good way to use up leftover watermelon, too (when it’s hard to get people to finish eating one because the weather turns cold or they’ve already had lots). Great idea to make popsicles!
Megan Sheakoski says
June 23, 2013 at 3:58 pmThat is how we came up with it!!!
