Nutrition and Healthy Eating
We’re heading into summer which means we’re also heading into watermelon eating season! Watermelon is a healthy snack option because it contains Lycopene a “fight-o-chemical” (phytochemical) that helps fight off sickness – but did you know that you don’t just have to eat it off the rind? Try this week’s snack hack for a fun new twist on serving up watermelon!
Watermelon popsicles:
- Chop up watermelon into small chunks and puree in the blender
- Pour the pureed watermelon into small paper cups (or popsicle molds).
- Cover each cup with plastic wrap or foil and insert a popsicle/craft stick (or plastic spoon) through and into the cup.
- Freeze until hard.
- Optional: add chopped strawberries, pineapple, or grapes to the molds too!
