EASY WATERMELON POPSICLES RECIPE WITH FRUIT
Summertime is synonymous with Popsicles, and kids, adults and even dogs alike will be cooled and refreshed with these easy to make healthy and tasty watermelon fruit popsicles.
Stay away from the ice cream truck or grocery store popsicles, which are laden with high fructose corn syrup and #5 red and #8 blue dye.
Those popsicles pose more of a health risk than a summer sweet indulgence!
This perfect-for-summer treat can be whipped up super quickly in a Blendtec or Vitamix blender, which can pulverize even seeded watermelons.
Bonus: Watermelon seeds contain protein as well as other nutrients, so you are able to enjoy the whole food!
In just a few steps you will have yummy watermelon fruit popsicles to serve to your little ones – and don’t forget to save one for yourself too!
Here are the popsicle molds used in our video, but there are many fun ones to choose from! 🙂 With banana, kiwi and blueberries, it’s a refreshing fruit salad on a stick!

HEALTH BENEFITS OF KIWI AND BLUEBERRIES
Kiwi fruits are rich in many Vitamins, flavonoids and minerals. In particular, they contain a high amount of Vitamin C (more than oranges), as much potassium as bananas and a good amount of beta-carotene.
