These icy poles are filled with the natural sweetness of watermelon, strawberries and raspberries, and are extremely simple to make. You can put them in the freezer to set for about 8 hours or leave them overnight, and switch up the amount of lime juice and mint leaves to your liking
Ditch the sugar-filled, store-bought icy poles for a refreshing, homemade treat this summer.

Ingredients
- 600ml freshly squeezed watermelon juice
- 200g strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 75g raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves
Method
Step 1:
To make the watermelon juice, blitz watermelon flesh in a food processor and then pour through a sieve to strain out any chunks.
Step 2:
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor, and blend until combined and smooth. Strain through a fine sieve (optional).
Step 3:
Pour into moulds (we used ones that hold 80ml, but you could use any size or mould you desire). Freeze until just starting to set.
Step 4:
Insert pop sticks and freeze until completely frozen (around 8 hours or overnight).
Step 5:
To remove icy poles from moulds, dip mould briefly in a room temperature water bath. Pull stick to gently release.
Eat immediately, or place in a container and freeze.
