Dietitian tips
Add some colour: Blend in a few strawberries for a watermelon-strawberry combination.
Make it fun: Add in sliced kiwi, strawberries or small pieces of fresh fruit to the moulds before pouring in the watermelon mixture.
Hydration: Watermelon has a high water content, making these a refreshing snack on hot days.
Little taste buds: Leave out the mint and lime for a milder, sweeter flavour.’
