AIP Friendly Watermelon-Lime Mint Popsicles
Few frozen treats hit as hard on a hot day as something this bright, juicy, and genuinely refreshing. Blended watermelon forms the base, with fresh mint, a squeeze of lime, and just a touch of honey rounding everything out into a flavor that tastes like summer in popsicle form. The whole mixture gets strained before freezing, so you end up with a silky-smooth texture that feels almost luxurious for something this simple. Following an autoimmune protocol can make store-bought frozen treats a minefield of off-limits additives, colorings, and mystery ingredients — this recipe sidesteps all of that with a short, clean ingredient list you can feel good about. Every single component here fits within AIP guidelines, so there's no substituting or second-guessing required. A quick blitz in the blender, a few hours in the freezer, and you've got eight popsicles ready to go — perfect for sharing or stashing for the week ahead.

8 servings
- 6 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (about ½ small watermelon)
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
- 2 tbsp honey
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~3/4 teaspoon per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid honey, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- 1
Add the watermelon cubes, mint leaves, honey, lime juice, and salt to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30–45 seconds.

Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a large measuring cup or bowl, pressing gently with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids left in the strainer.
