Watermelon Pops
I love making these watermelon pops for a refreshing and healthy summery treat, instead of all the sugary options out there. And who said popsicles are just for kids?
Cut seedless watermelon into 1-inch chunks. Place 5 cups of watermelon chunks along with 1 cup Fresca or 3⁄4 cup vodka or other fruity liqueur, plus 1⁄4 cup club soda (adults only!), and 2 Tbsp sugar or honey (to taste) into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for about an hour before adding the sticks. Freeze for an additional 3–4 hours until completely set.

I read that you can use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce, but I’m apprehensive to try it. What are the health benefits, and does it taste similar enough in foods like pepper steak or other stir-fries?
Good question! Coconut aminos is a dark brown sauce made by fermenting coconut palm sap with sea salt. It has slight antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, but its main benefit is that it offers a gluten- , soy-, and sugar-free healthier alternative to soy sauce. It’s also significantly lower in sodium, with 1 teaspoon of coconut aminos containing 66 mg of sodium, compared to soy sauce, which contains 300 mg per teaspoon.
