Ingredients
  • 2 medium to large sized cucumbers
  • juice from 4 limes
  • 4 large sprigs of fresh mint
  • 1 Tbsp sweetener of choice (raw honey, maple syrup) or you can use 4-6 drops of liquid Stevia
  • Optional: sea salt for rim, 4 slices of cucumber (slice before peeling), 4 small mint sprigs
Instructions
  1. Peel cucumbers and scoop out seeds. The easiest way to scoop out the seeds is to cut lengthwise after peeling and run a spoon down the center. Set aside.
  2. Juice limes. Set juice aside.
  3. Remove mint leaves from stems and wash.
  4. In a blender combine cucumber, lime juice and mint leaves.
  5. Blend on high until fully combined.
  6. If serving with salt take lime peel and rub across the top of the glass. Dip in salt. Add ice to glasses and pour over the top. Garnish with a cucumber slice, mint leaves or both.
Notes
Use organic whenever possible! I have added Stevia as a sweetener option if you are trying to avoid raw honey and maple syrup. Stevia is not considered Autoimmune Protocol so should be avoided. Some believe it is Paleo and some do not. You can make the choice for yourself.
