Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Peel the kiwis and chop them into chunks. Do the same with the cucumber, peel and slice it. If you’re using fresh mint, tear a few leaves for a better release of flavor.

Step 2: Blend It All Together

In your blender, add the kiwi, cucumber, mint, lime juice, honey (or agave), and water or coconut water. Blend until smooth and light green.

Step 3: Strain (Optional)

If you want a smoother drink, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher or jar. Press with a spoon to get all that goodness out.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Let it chill for about 5 minutes or pour it straight over ice in a glass. Add extra mint leaves on top and splash in a bit of sparkling water if you like that fizz.

Step 5: Sip and Enjoy

Stir lightly and enjoy your homemade Kiwi Cucumber Cooler!

Easy Variations to Try

Kiwi Pineapple Cooler:

Swap cucumber for pineapple for a tropical kick.

Green Detox Version:

Add a handful of spinach or kale and blend with coconut water. Still tastes great and boosts nutrients.

Spicy Twist:

Add a pinch of cayenne or blend in a tiny piece of ginger for a zingy edge.

Alcohol Version:

For adults, a splash of white rum or vodka turns this into a light, fruity cocktail.
