2 tbsp fresh lime juice

1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1 Combine the chopped cucumber, fresh mint leaves, water or coconut water, and fresh lime juice in a blender. Secure the lid and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the mint to infuse.
2 Add the honey or agave nectar to the blender, starting with 1 tablespoon. Add the ice cubes to the blender, filling it about halfway.

4 Taste the cooler and add more honey or agave nectar if you prefer it sweeter. Blend for another 15-20 seconds to incorporate any added sweetener.
