Popsicles are the perfect summertime snack. Just like my Coconut Ice Lollies, this icy treat is low in carbs and very low in calories. All you need is just a few ingredients: melons, lime and optionally your favourite low-carb sweetener. Enjoy!
If you prefer something easier and ready in half the time, just fill each pop mould with a single melon mixture. Here is the net carb count per 100 g / 3.5 oz of different types of melon:
- watermelon: 7.2 g
- honeydew: 8.3 g
- cantaloupe: 7.3 g
- galia: 5.2 g
These numbers are average and the actual net carbs content also depends on how ripe the melons are.

Ingredients (makes 8 servings)
- 1 cup diced watermelon (150 g/ 5.3 oz)
- 1 cup diced honeydew melon (150 g/ 5.3 oz)
- 1 cup diced cantaloupe melon (150 g/ 5.3 oz)
- 1 1/2 lime, juiced (4-5 tbsp lime juice)
- Optional: 15-25 drops Stevia extract or other healthy low-carb sweetener from this list
Instructions
- Dice the watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe melon.
- Blend each melon in a separate bowl and squeeze half of a lime in each of the bowls. Optionally, add stevia to taste (5-10 drops per each bowl).
- Start pouring the first layer into the pop molds. Distribute evenly and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes, just enough to get a thin layer of ice crust. If you pour all the layers on top of each other at once, they will blend together. A hour in the freezer is enough to prevent mixing.
- Add the second layer and place in the freezer for another hour.
- Finally, add the last layer, insert wooden sticks if your molds don't come with sticks or build-in handles and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Remove pops from the molds just before serving and enjoy!
- Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
