Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup lime juice (or less, to taste)
- 1/2 cup coconut water (optional)
Instructions
- Blitz cubed watermelon in the blender with or without coconut water until it turns into a very smooth juice (should takes less than a minute)
- Add lime juice to taste.
- Pour the juice into popsicle molds or silicone ice cubes trays and freeze for 2 to 3 hours until frozen solid.
- If there is leftover watermelon juice, you can drink it chilled straight from a glass!
Notes
- If the watermelon has black seeds, you'll need to blend slowly to avoid chopping up the seeds. You can then strain the seeds out by pouring the juice through a mesh sieve or a colander.
- It isn't necessary to strain the juice, unless you need to strain out seeds or want a very smooth texture
- A container with a small spout (like a glass measuring cup) makes it easier to pour the juice into ice cube trays
- Coconut water is optional, but adds natural electrolytes. You don't taste it when it's frozen into the popsicles.
