Last year, when I was pregnant, I’m pretty sure I ate my bodyweight in watermelon. It was my number one pregnancy craving (followed closely by gummy candy and anything from Chipotle) and it’s still a fruit I love to eat as often as I can this time of year.
There’s nothing more refreshing than a cold and juicy slice of watermelon during the hot summer months and today I’m sharing a roundup of 10 must-try watermelon recipes with you guys from some of my blogging friends! I tried to include a variety of recipes below – everything from popsicles and salads to appetizers and dessert! Hopefully something will jump out at you and you’ll find a new recipe to try that’s as vibrant and refreshing as it is delicious.

Love, love the sangria recipe!! Thank you for an awesome roundup! I’ve been eating my weight in watermelon too, but ’tis the season! 😉
I love your watermelon Popsicles, and those Rosemary ones sounds intriguing as well!
Unfortunately we are in the middle of winter in Sydney, so I’m pinning for later!
Yum, yum yum! This makes me crave watermelon even more than I did before! Thanks for sharing my cooler recipe 🙂
You’re so welcome! Thank you for allowing me to share it — your photos are seriously stunning!
I watermelon is everything when you’re pregnant-yes! The sangria sounds delicious!
Yes! The sangria is calling to me!! That’s on my list to make for this weekend!
I want to eat all of these!
Perfect timing! My dad brought us half of a HUGE watermelon and I have been trying to figure out what all I can do with it besides eat it the “regular” way!
Heading to the store to by watermelon now! I can’t believe I haven’t had any yet what a huge fail whale!
My daughter would LOVE the watermelon popsicles, since any time we have watermelon she eats a ton of it. I swear she’s going to turn into one!
yum!! I am obsessed with watermelon… we go through 2-3 every week. I just can’t get enough on a hot summer day. I love making watermelon popsicles too!
Blueberries are my absolute favorite, and peaches and nectarines come in second. We’re trying to grow watermelon in our garden this summer! Hoping we get at least one to harvest and enjoy. 🙂
Love love love summer fruit!
Ooooh, I’ll have to give those watermelon popsicle recipes a try! I just bought popsicle molds on Sunday and am really excited to try out new recipes over the next couple of warm months!
Watermelon is one of my biggest summer cravings too – after a long run there’s nothing I want more! Can’t wait to try making the Popsicles 🙂
So funny, at 33 weeks pregnant, watermleon has been my biggest craving during this pregnancy! I can’t seem to go without it.
…ME TOO!
Ahh!! How fun 🙂
The watermelon popsicles are my absolute favourite! I was going to actually make them last week and then ended up eating the watermelon in chunks the entire week. I’m 19.5weeks pregnant and watermelon is my biggest go-to! It’s crazy!
Watermelon is an awesome summer fruit, but I have to say kicking off the summer can only be done with a handful of strawberries!
I love all these recipes and will have to try some of them! I love the Watermelon Smoothie idea! 🙂
I love how watermelon is so refreshing! I need to make those Popsicles!
Hi Julie!
Thank you for including my Watermelon Blueberry Feta Salad! It’s one of my favorites.
I feel the same way about watermelon– one of my favorite things about summer.
I just commented about that salad! Can’t wait to try it!
That watermelon, blueberry, and feta salad looks AMAZING. I’m off to the store soon and you inspired me to pick up a watermelon! Haha!!
I’m drooling over everything in this post! And now I want to run out to the store to buy watermelon 🙂
