Turkey Free Watermelon Mint Popsicles
These popsicles are pure summer in frozen form — sweet, bright, and just herby enough to feel a little fancy. Fresh watermelon blends up beautifully with mint, lime juice, and a touch of honey, creating a flavor that's refreshing without being cloying. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve is the secret move here: it pulls out the mint fiber and any foam so every popsicle comes out silky-smooth and jewel-bright. A pinch of salt rounds everything out and makes the watermelon taste even more like itself. There's no cooking involved, no complicated equipment beyond a blender and popsicle molds, and the ingredient list is as clean as it gets — just real fruit, fresh herbs, citrus, and a little sweetener. These are the kind of frozen treats you can feel genuinely good about handing to anyone, and they disappear fast on a hot day.

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.
