Watermelon Fruit Popsicles

We’re heading into the dog days of summer, you know the days where it’s too hot to cook, and you’re desperate to keep cool at any cost. I just LOVE it though, LOVE IT. This week’s our cup runneth over with Watermelon so we’re making popsicles and adding in seasonal fruits that we've got in the fruit basket. I used mango, kiwi's and blackberries because that's what I had at hand, but you can use any fruits that you have and add it to the puree.

The last time I made watermelon popsicles I made it by adding simple syrup to strained watermelon juice. This time I kept it super simple and sugar free and although they weren’t as sweet as the last ones, they were certainly more guilt-free. Enjoy
