Watermelon Strawberry Pops ~ a Raw and Vegan Recipe for Kids!
makes about 8 pops ~ $.49 per pop
ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon chunks ($2.00)
- 1 cup strawberries ($1.00)
- stevia or sweetener of your choice (optional)
- juice of 1 lemon ($.60)
- 1 cup green juice (I used Dave’s Alfalfa Juice Powder) ($.30)
This is fun, delicious, and easy enough for most kids to make themselves with just a little bit of help.
Using a high speed blender, puree the watermelon, strawberries, and half the lemon juice together. Sweeten, if desired. Pour into popsicle molds and insert sticks, leaving a half inch space at the top for the green layer.
Freeze for a couple hours, then mix up a cup of green juice with a couple tablespoons lemon juice and sweetener, if you’d like it sweeter. Pour this on top of the watermelon/strawberry layer. Freeze again until solid.
I’ve used plastic popsicle molds here, because that’s what I had on hand. But I’m moving away from all plastics … paper cups and wooden sticks would be easier, cuter, and safer.

how cute!! i love how the bottom is actually green like the rind!
I hear what you are saying about plastics but I think you'll need to check out the paper cups quite carefully as they have waxes on to help waterproof them and this might be less than ideal.
Those look refreshing, for kids and adults alike.
