Lactose Free Watermelon Mint Popsicles
These popsicles are the definition of summer in frozen form — bright, juicy watermelon blended with fresh mint and a squeeze of lime for a treat that tastes like it came from a fancy juice bar. The honey adds just enough sweetness to round everything out, while that pinch of salt makes the fruit flavor pop in the best way. Because the base is entirely fruit, citrus, and natural sweeteners, there's no dairy anywhere in sight — no cream, no yogurt, no hidden milk solids to stress about. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve is the move that separates a truly smooth, glossy popsicle from a fibrous one, so don't skip that step. After a long freeze, you get a clean, jewel-toned bar that slides right out of the mold with a quick run of warm water. These are endlessly refreshing on a hot day and simple enough to make on a weeknight with minimal cleanup.

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.
