Cucumber Mint Lemonade Recipe

There is no cooking involved my friends, just a powerful blender or food processor to puree the ingredients into a smooth beverage reminiscent of aqua fresca. Actually I’m pretty sure that technically this is a cucumber aqua fresca after all. Ha!

Make it without sugar, use a few dates instead or a touch of maple syrup or coconut nectar to taste. Have some fun and add some chia seeds into the mix as well. Stay deliciously hydrated my friends!
