Legume Free Watermelon Mint Popsicles
These frozen treats are the definition of summer in a stick — sweet, icy, and bursting with fresh watermelon flavor that tastes like it came straight from the garden. A handful of mint leaves and a squeeze of fresh lime juice take things from simple to genuinely refreshing, while a touch of honey rounds out the sweetness without overpowering the fruit. The blender does most of the heavy lifting, and straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky-smooth pop with zero fibrous bits or foam — just clean, vibrant color and flavor. For anyone navigating legume-free eating, these are a total no-brainer: every ingredient is a whole food with nothing hidden or processed in. Store-bought popsicles can be surprisingly tricky to vet, but this recipe keeps things beautifully transparent. Make a batch the night before and you'll have a freezer full of something genuinely worth reaching for on a hot afternoon.

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.
