This is a super-easy, really fun and totally healthy snack for kids.
INGREDIENTS
1 mini organic watermelon
1/2 cup sliced organic strawberries
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons organic lemonade (Trader Joe’s has some good ones)
DIRECTIONS
I do this with my immersion blender but a food processor or blender will work just as well.
Cut open watermelon, roughly chop into about 1 inch cubes and remove any seeds.
Blend watermelon, honey and lemonade until completely puréed.
Pour into popsicle molds (depending on size of molds it should make 5-6) then add in strawberry slices and freeze until frozen.
That’s it – these taste awesome – I know you will love them as much as your kids will!!!

ANNOUNCEMENT

EmailFacebookPinterestPrintTwitterShare

Hi everyone, we wanted to straighten out some confusion – we are the official Oakland Farmer’s Market run by volunteers and part of the borough of Oakland, we are in NO WAY affiliated with the “farmer’s market” that is going into Copper Tree Mall.  It is our understanding that they will not be a true farmer’s market as we are.  Our farmers are from NJ and bring their own produce to our market, which was picked that morning or the day before, our other food vendors are artisan crafters that make their delicious, fresh products from beginning to end using local ingredients.  We take special care to make sure we have an offering of all local organic and conventional foods and we do everything possible to keep GMO ingredients out of the market.  We hope to continue to receive your support and build a stronger sense of community in Oakland.

Thank you.

Still accepting vendors, crafters and local artists
