If your kids are like mine, they love watermelon. But after a few slices, the luster wears off and you’re left with half a melon in the fridge taking up valuable space. So, as it’s July and it’s hot, why not make watermelon ice cubes. These all-fruit cubes are loaded with the antioxidant lycopene, making them a healthier alternative to popsicles, which are mainly colored sugar water. All you do is puree watermelon with some honey, lemon juice and fresh mint leaves (or not), pour into ice cube or popsicle trays and freeze. To serve, pour soda water or lemonade over a few cubes for a refreshing, fruity drink. Or place a few cubes in a bowl or paper cups, and send the kids outside with a spoon. Nice, baby.
