Watermelon Lime Ice Pops

Pick up nearly any box of ice pops in the supermarket and you’ll find no shortage of sugar and plenty of artificial ingredients to boot. It’s kind of a bummer if you ask me, since a more wholesome pop is easy to come by.  Indeed, there’s no reason ice pops need be much more than fruit or juice, and enough added sweetener to make you want seconds. These Watermelon Lime Ice Pops are a perfect example.

Easy Homemade Watermelon Pops

The other thing about homemade ice pops is that they’re easy to make. For these watermelon pops, you whiz together whole, fresh melon, agave nectar, and fresh lime juice. Pour into pop molds and freeze. That’s it. The reason I like agave for these is that a liquid sweetener doesn’t need to be dissolved first, like sugar does. You could also swap in honey if you like.

Healthy and Hydrating Ice Pops

These watermelon pops are full of vitamin C, vitamin A, and the antioxidant lycopene. Plus, with its high water content, watermelon is great for hydrating on hot summer days. As for sugar content, each pop has just a touch over a teaspoon of added sweetener per pop. That is much lower than most of what you’ll find in the freezer section of the market.
