MSG Free Watermelon Mint Popsicles
These frozen treats are the definition of summer in a stick — sweet, cooling, and bursting with fresh watermelon flavor in every bite. 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 natural sweetness without overpowering the fruit. Every single ingredient here is whole and recognizable, which means no hidden additives, flavor enhancers, or processed shortcuts to worry about. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve is a small extra step that makes a big difference, giving you a silky-smooth popsicle with a clean, vibrant color rather than a fibrous or foamy texture. The recipe is endlessly adjustable — taste as you go and dial up the lime or honey to suit your preference before the mixture ever hits the molds. Once they're frozen solid, a quick run of warm water over the molds is all it takes to release them perfectly. Keep a batch stashed in the freezer and you've got a genuinely wholesome treat ready whenever the heat hits.

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.
