Nothing says summer quite like popsicles, am I right?
When I was five or six, my best friend had a pool in her backyard which I thought was so cool. We would spend hours out there jumping off the side into the four-foot water. After a while, our Moms would come treat us with a Chilly Willy or some other popsicle that reigned supreme in the 90s. Back then, that little treat was pure bliss.
Nowadays, I still love a good popsicle, only I prefer ones with a lot less sugar. Enter: these easy watermelon lime popsicles.
Bree and I made these super easy, healthy watermelon lime popsicles a few weeks ago while we were catching up about her adventures abroad. It was one of those hot DC afternoons where you basically needed a sweet treat of some sort to make it bearable, and these definitely fit the bill.
I didn’t have popsicle molds before, but picked these up at Home Goods for less than $6! They also came with a recipe book chalk full of fruit pop ideas, so I’ll be sure to let you know my favorites.
Of course, the guys who suggested I use the molds to make margarita pops in my building might be onto something even better…
Ingredients
– 2 cups of watermelon, chopped into 1″ cubes
– 1/4 cup lime juice
– 1 tablespoon all natural agave nectar
Directions
Freeze 1″ squares of watermelon for two hours, or until firm. Combine agave nectar, lime juice, and watermelon in blender and blend until smooth. Pour into molds and freeze for three hours. Enjoy!
These sound pretty darn perfect to me! You’ve gotta love a dessert/treat that is actually GOOD for you!
Those sound and look absolutely delicious. It is so hot here right now and popsicles are lifesavers for the kids! These are so fresh and natural.
These looks so refreshing! I love the simplicity of the recipe.
These look so delicious! I love popsicles, and watermelon just screams “summer” to me! I also really love your popsicle molds! 🙂
I love the combination! I’ll have to get some limes and make myself some!
My husband and I lived in DC for a few years – oh man the summers are so hot and humid! Love what you’ve done with watermelon. These look so refreshing! Need to make these for my son’s birthday party!
They look so good! i usually had a splash of lemon to my smoothies, but this has inspired me to add some lime!
This sounds so refreshing!
Oh yum! What a simple but refreshing way to cool down during these last days of summer!
These look super refreshing! I have a ton of watermelon at home.. definitely trying these!
I keep telling myself I need to get popsicle molds! Now I really need to! My daughter loves watermelon!
oh my the flavor I am simply wondering what it was like smooth or sour? These are two of my favorite flavors yet never really had them together

These look perfectly refreshing…need to make these before summer is over!
These look so refreshing! I love homemade popsicles but lost my popsicle mold a few moves ago. I think it’s time get another one!
Those look very refreshing! I’d never thought of blending watermelon before but this sounds like a great idea!
These look great and so refreshing! I’ll have to try it. I have a watermelon in the fridge waiting. Thanks!
This was such a fun afternoon! And these were so good, I’ve made them a few other times since and they’ve become a total staple for me!

Freeze in the freezer at least 8 hours or overnight. And, with only four ingredients and 15 minutes of prep time, why buy popsicles when you can make them them easily at home?
