Ever crave some pucker-worthy sour candy but didn’t want to deal with all the refined sugars? I got you covered 😉
🤰Recently, a bunch of my friends + family have announced they’re expecting, so I figured I’d share this recipe along with my tried and true natural remedies for nausea ease in case any of my followers are moms-to-be! The best part about this snack is that it doubles as a fun treat for kids too! It tastes like sour candy but is also refreshing and sweet.
💦 Watermelon is such a great fruit for morning sickness because it’s so hydrating! When you’re losing all that water from 🤮, it’s important to drink lots of fluids, and watermelon is 92% water!
🍋 Lemon and lime juice are combined with date sugar (so this “candy” is naturally sweetened by fruit only!) to make the watermelon sour and tangy. Did you know that sour foods can reduce morning sickness by increasing salivation?
☘️ Mint is also added to our treat because the scent of peppermint always soothed my uneasy stomach during the first trimester.
Place your watermelon chunks in a medium sized bowl. Juice 1 lemon and 1 lime. Mix gently.
Drizzle the date sugar and peppermint extract over the watermelon and toss gently again.
Cover a large baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the watermelon chunks onto the parchment paper and freeze for 2-3 hours. Enjoy!
