Watermelon Ice Lolly Recipe
In summer, Mila’s afternoon juice is freshly juiced watermelon. But I never have enough fridge space to store a large watermelon and it tends to go off before we can juice it all. Solution? Make watermelon ice lollies!
Watermelon Ice Lollies are refreshing and re-hydrating with loads of Vitamin C – perfect after along day on the beach, after exercise or to offer to your little one if she/he has a fever.
The ice lolly pictured (above) in the background is watermelon juice without the rind. The one in the foreground is made with the rind and a slice of beetroot.
