ice cold cucumber lemonade
recently a friend asked if i had ever used frozen cucumbers in a recipe. intriguing question and at that point i had not, now i’m nearly obsessed. instead of ice cubes, my freezer is full of peeled and chopped cucumbers that are ready for immediate use. the result? a super slushy cool liquid refreshment that has swept me off my feet and taken over as a main sorce of hydration. it is worth finding the aloe juice because of its extreme nutritional prowess, however, if aloe is not immediately available fresh water will work as well. dare to dazzle yourself with the most refreshing drink of the summer!
ice cold cucumber lemonade
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups frozen cucumbers, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup aloe juice
1/4 cup frozen pineapple
2 tablespoons lemon juice mixer
2 drops lemon drop sweet leaf liquid stevia
1. place everything except the liquid stevia in the blender and run on high until well mixed.
2. pour into 1 quart mason jar and add 2 drops of lemon drop sweet leaf liquid stevia. stir and serve.
this looks so delicious and refreshing!! i’m always trying to mix it up with drinks in the summer and this is going to be my new go-to! xx

I love the cucumber and lemon combination and often put a few pieces of each in my water to drink during the day. I love the idea of freezing the cucumbers then blending all the ingredients together along with a touch of sweetness – trying this new version out soon.
