Total Time:5 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb cucumber, cut into chunks
1/3 to 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2–3 large limes)
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups cold coconut water
Instructions
Wash and cut your cucumber into chunks. Juice the limes until you have at least 1/3 cup of juice (adjust to taste).
In a high-speed blender, combine the cucumber chunks, lime juice, agave nectar, salt, and coconut water. Blend until smooth and frothy.
For a pulp-free version, pour the mixture through a mesh strainer into a pitcher. Use the back of a spoon to press the pulp and extract as much liquid as possible.
Pour over a glass of ice and garnish with a cucumber slice or lime wedge if desired. Sip and enjoy!
