Healthy Kids Snack: Watermelon Popsicles

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!

Watermelon Popsicles!  Healthy kids snack that is super healthy and you only need 2 ingredients! YUM!

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!

    Megan — 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.

      Coincidentally we were just talking about pouring our smoothies into popsicles molds for a cool treat at the pool! Love all of these healthy summer treats!

    This 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!
