Celery Free Watermelon Mint Popsicles
These frozen treats are the definition of summer in a stick — bright, juicy watermelon blended with fresh mint, a squeeze of lime, and just enough honey to round everything out. The result is a clean, refreshing popsicle that tastes like it came from a fancy dessert bar but costs almost nothing to make at home. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve is the secret move here — it pulls out the mint fiber and any foam so you get a silky-smooth, jewel-colored pop every single time. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from celery and celery derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. They're endlessly crowd-pleasing for kids and adults alike, and the make-ahead freeze means your work is done long before anyone shows up hungry. A quick run of warm water over the molds and they slide right out — no wrestling required.

8 servings
- 6 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (about ½ small watermelon)
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- 1
Combine the watermelon cubes, mint leaves, lime juice, honey, and salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30–45 seconds.

Taste the mixture and adjust with a little more honey or lime juice if needed. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or pitcher, pressing gently on the solids to extract all the liquid — this removes the mint fiber and any foam for a cleaner popsicle.
