Ingredients List

This recipe balances crisp cucumber with zesty lime for a refreshing burst of flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 medium cucumbers (about 1.5 cups blended juice). Substitute with zucchini for a milder taste.
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes). Use lemon juice for a twist.
• 2 tbsp honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste). Swap for maple syrup for a vegan option.
• 1 tsp chia seeds (optional) for texture and fiber.
• 1/2 cup coconut water (or plain water). Adds electrolytes for extra hydration.

Timing

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Freezing Time: 4-6 hours | Total Time: ~6 hours (mostly hands-off). This is 30% faster than traditional ice cream recipes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base

Peel and chop cucumbers, then blend with coconut water until smooth. Strain for a silky texture or leave pulp for fiber.

Step 2: Sweeten & Flavor

Stir in lime juice, honey, and chia seeds (if using). Taste and adjust sweetness—remember, flavors intensify when frozen.

Step 3: Pour & Freeze

Divide the mixture into popsicle molds or small cups. Freeze for 4-6 hours or until solid. For easy removal, run molds under warm water for 10 seconds.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Over-sweetening: Taste before freezing—flavors concentrate.
• Rushing the freeze: Popsicles won’t hold shape if under-frozen.
• Skipping straining: Pulp can make textures icy.

Storing Tips for the Recipe

Store popsicles in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. For meal prep, freeze in silicone molds and transfer to a zip-top bag.
