Back to school is beginning but summer isn’t over yet! I am hanging onto every last ray of warm sunshine.

A great summer day ends with a sweet summer treat like these simple ice pops.

Watermelon Ice Pops are a delicious summer treat made with fresh watermelon, lime and a pinch of honey. 

Summertime is in full swing and I am loving every second if it.

The muggy, hot weather in Cincinnati calls for some chilled treats after a day of fun and these Watermelon Ice Pops really hit the spot.

Watermelon Ice Pops

Watermelon Ice Pops are made with just 3 ingredients! I can say am one of those moms who believe less ingredients is always better and I love that you can actually taste the watermelon flavor in these and there is nothing artificial unlike some store bought ice pops. Don’t get me wrong- the store bought ice pops are also in my freezer all summer long but these are a really yummy treat to share with the kids. 

Tips & Tricks

Strain

I recommend straining your watermelon mixture after mixing. This helps remove the pulp and seeds making a nice juice that freezes well. 

Fruit

You aren’t limited to just using watermelon! Try any of your favorite fruits. Blend well, strain and then place in ice pops mold bags to freeze. Simple, healthy, and flavorful.

Weather has been crazy this spring and Cincinnati has had one of the wettest years EVER so far so outside play and hot sunny days has been pretty minimal.

 Tips & Tricks

Yogurt

Not everyone is a fan of Greek yogurt. If you are one of those people, you can substitute for a yogurt you do like.  Mixing in some honey into the plain Greek yogurt is sometimes a good way to sweeten it to your liking. Greek yogurt does have a great texture is a bit thicker than other yogurts so keep that in mind when picking a yogurt.
