A simple, refreshing, and healthy summer treat made with just watermelon, fresh lemon juice, and water—no added sugar needed. Perfect for hot days and guilt-free enjoyment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold filtered water
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, a few sprigs)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups (600g) of seedless watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds if necessary.
  2. Place the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth but still slightly textured, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add 1/3 cup (80 ml) fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold filtered water, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend again for 30 seconds to combine.
  4. If using, tear a few fresh mint leaves and stir into the mixture or blend briefly for a subtle herbal note.
  5. Taste and adjust the balance by adding more watermelon juice or water if too tart, or more lemon juice if too sweet.
  6. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion, and insert sticks.
  7. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until fully solid.
  8. To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull the popsicles free.

Notes

Use ripe, heavy watermelon for best sweetness. Blend in short bursts to avoid watery texture. Fresh lemon juice is preferred over bottled for brightness. Leave space in molds for expansion to prevent cracking. Run warm water on molds to ease unmolding.
