Steps

1. To a food processor or blender, add the watermelon, raspberries, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Pulse until smooth. Pour mixture into a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl to strain out seeds.
2. Fill 6 ice pop molds molds ¾ of the way with watermelon mixture. Insert the wooden sticks and freeze 1½–2 hours, until set.
