Frozen Watermelon Yogurt Bars
These delicious frozen yogurt bars start with homemade watermelon juice. I combine it with yogurt, protein powder, and dragon fruit powder for color. Then, I place a rind circle cut into quarters on a plate and pour the mixture into the center until it fills the rinds. After that, I just freeze it and serve. It’s quick and easy, and it’s always a big hit.

Tips
- Use your blender’s highest setting for a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Use a very sharp knife to cut the watermelon out of the center of the rind ring. This allows you to use less pressure and avoid breaking the ring.
- Slice the rind after the center yogurt mixture has frozen so nothing oozes out.

- You can use vanilla or Greek yogurt for these pops.
- Dragon fruit powder adds a pink color. If you can’t find it, that’s okay. It won’t change the flavor of the pops.
- Use your favorite vanilla protein powder.
- To keep this recipe healthy, use a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, stevia, or monk fruit.
