Paleo Watermelon Mint Popsicles
These frozen treats are everything summer should be — bright, refreshing, and made from ingredients you can feel genuinely good about. Watermelon does most of the heavy lifting here, bringing natural sweetness and a juicy base that barely needs any help. A handful of fresh mint, a squeeze of lime, and just a touch of honey round things out in the most satisfying way. Straining the blended mixture before freezing is a small but brilliant step — it gives you a silky, clean popsicle rather than a fibrous or foamy one. Honey keeps this treat firmly in whole-food territory, so there's no need to reach for refined sugar or any processed sweetener. They're the kind of thing you'll want stocked in the freezer all season long, ready to pull out the moment 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.
