Watermelon Mint Chia Popsicles: Super easy and refreshingly delicious popsicles made with all natural ingredients. This recipe makes 10 medium popsicles and works as a great detox too (minus the sprinkle 😉
This weekend was extremely hot and I literally must have had 5-6 of these Watermelon Mint Chia Popsicles.
Come summertime and all I want to do is eat mostly cold food, drinks and lots of ice-creams.
My favorite is fresh, fruity ice lollies or popsicles that are so easy to make at home and packed with health benefits.
More than me, my friends and their kids love it…and yes, you read it right, the kids love it as they can only see ‘sprinkles’ in these cuties as the chia seeds are hidden deep within the bright red-orange color.
Now, who doesn’t love a nice, fresh watermelon and it’s one of my favorite fruit to use in summer recipes, like this
Quick Watermelon Salad with Feta-Mint and Basil‘
2 Ingredients Watermelon Vodka Slushie‘
And I do have many more recipes coming soon.
These Watermelon-Mint-Chia Popsicles are so easy and also makes for a great dessert for your summer parties.
I totally eat them for a light dessert after a heavy meal and since watermelon and mint have both detoxing effects, it actually cools down the tummy and also helps in the digestion system.
They are a hit with all age group and especially kids because of the sprinkles.
Now, I didn’t add any sweetener or sprinkle as a part of the ingredient.
The sprinkle is only added once the popsicles are ready to serve.
Infact, this time, we made them with one of my ex-work colleague and her daughter and the kiddo absolutely loved the whole experience.
Also, as some of your kid’s summer vacation would have started or started soon and this could be a fun daytime activity to do with them.
Just get their favorite sprinkles and enjoy these Watermelon Mint Chia Popsicles together.
As I always request, please do send me pictures of my recipes that you tried or you can use #easycookingwithmolly

The sugar amount is that with the sprinkles or without? I am looking for how much sugar is in 1 without the sprinkles. Also does the coconut water have added sugar or just the natural sugar? Thanks , hoping to try this if there is not too much sugar in 1.

Hi Lone, It’s all natural sugar from coconut water (which doesn’t have any added sugar). The sugar amount calculated is mostly from the sprinkles. Sprinkles are just a decorative ingredient and the popsicle is made of all natural ingredients.

Yesssss. popsicles are my must have summer treats to get me through the long and hot summers in the south! This is the perfect recipe to cool down to and use up all that fresh mint I’ve been growing!

It’s true that kids love popsicles. But at my house, it’s my husband who’s the biggest fan! These are so cute. I’ll have to give them a try.

How cute are these!?!?! I love the corner of sprinkles and the flavor you have chosen are yummy – love the addition of chia seeds!!

Ha ha ah – loved that little humor up there – ‘great detox – minus the sprinkles’ – how whimsical!
