Watermelon, Lime, and Mint Ice Pops

Word around the internet is today is National Watermelon Day! There seems to be an abundance of national food days recently and this is one I can definitely get behind, especially since I always have watermelon on hand during the summer!

I have mentioned in the past about watermelons health benefits and shared some recipes for a cooler cocktail and salads, but in honor of the summer heat today we are talking ice pops!!!

What better snack on a hot summer day or night then some fresh watermelon kicked up a notch!
