Frozen Watermelon and Coconut Water Ice Cubes are unbelievably refreshing, naturally hydrating and an easy, fun summer treat for kids. All-natural and no added sugar!

You can also pour the watermelon puree into popsicle molds. Or, just drink the juice straight from the blender!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup coconut water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blitz watermelon in the blender with coconut water until it turns into a very smooth juice (takes less than a minute)
  2. Pour into silicone ice cubes trays or popsicle molds and freeze for several hours

Helpful Tips

  • 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 frozen. 

Notes

Silicone Ice Cube Trays: It's surprisingly fun to make ice cubes in all different shapes. Small shapes are really fun and easy for kids to eat. However, shapes that are really small (gummy bear shaped) or have lots of sides (like stars) are harder to get out of the trays.

You can add more flavor by adding frozen berries, a squeeze of lime, lemonade or another type of juice, or simple syrup to the blender.
