Some days you don’t need a meal in a glass, you just need something cold and refreshing. This cooler is mostly water-rich cucumber and honeydew, brightened with lime and fresh mint.
Coconut water adds natural electrolytes like potassium, making it a great choice after exercise or time in the sun.
Why It’s Good for You
Cucumber and melon are more than 90 percent water, coconut water supplies potassium, and mint adds a cooling flavor. It’s a tasty way to boost hydration with very few calories.
