- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 1 cup strawberries, see notes
- 1/2 lime, juiced optional
- 1 tsp chia seeds, optional
Blend: place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend for 45-60 seconds on medium or until everything this pureed.
Pour: using your favorite popsicle mold, pour the watermelon mixture into the molds until the fill line. Place in the popsicle sticks.
Freeze: place the popsicle mold into the freezer and let freeze for at least 5 hours but preferably overnight.
Eat: take a popsicle out of the freezer and take out of the mold. Eat and enjoy.
Age: can be served to 6-9+ months depending on when baby can hold the popsicle stick.
Yield: this recipe makes roughly 2 cups of popsicle mixture. You may need to increase/decrease that amount based on your popsicle mold size.
Notes on Strawberries: you can use fresh or frozen (and thawed) strawberries for this recipe.
Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your fruit and your sweetness preference, I recommend tasting the blended watermelon recipe before pouring it into the trays to see if it needs a little sweetener. If it does, add 2-3 tbsp of honey (for over 1 year of age), maple syrup or agave nectar to the recipe.
