This time, I went for simplicity:
Materials:
- Lots of watermelon
- The juice of 4-5 limes
- A good splash of simple syrup
Result:
Appearance: Not very even, splotches where red is absent
Texture: Appropriately icey
Flavor: Wonderful lime and watermelon flavor this time.
Conclusion:
To my surprise, the result was significantly better than Trial #1. I guess what happened was that the yogurt killed the watermelon flavor. This 'purer' recipe allowed all the flavors to shine. Of course the texture of this is like ice, but if that doesn't detract from your enjoyment, make this! This is a keeper.

Lime Watermelon Popsicles - Trial #1
Background:
I used a recipe based on what I saw in this video.
Methods:
- In a blender, fill 3/4 full with watermelon pieces
- Add juice of five limes
- Add a large spoonful of greek yogurt
- Add a dollop of honey
- Blend
Result:
Appearance: Nice even watermelon color
Texture: Appropriately icey
Flavor: Disappointed; could taste the lime but barely any watermelon.
Conclusion:
Although the hubby liked them, I wouldn't make these again due to the dearth of watermelon flavor.
[Side note:
I tasted as I went before deciding the juice of five limes was a good amount.]
