Wacky Watermelon Pops

We just can't get enough watermelon around our house this summer!  Partly because it is so delicious and partly because it is so nutritious!  Click here to find out some of watermelon's nutrition benefits. And because my kids love popsicles, and their mom doesn't love all the added sugar and artificial dyes in them - we make a lot of our own.  This is our newest recipe combing the refreshing sweet taste of watermelon, with the bright tart flavor of kiwi.

This might be the easiest recipe you ever follow.  Blend watermelon.  Pour into your mold and let it freeze for a bit.  Blend kiwi.  Pour into molds on top of the watermelon layer.  We use the Zoku pop maker to make all of our popsicles.  It is seriously amazing.  If you haven't tried one, I would highly suggest you do.  If you think it is a bit too sour for your kids, just add a touch of honey when you blend.

And a little while later you have beautiful tasty super nutritious pops awaiting your hot little kidlets.
