Green electrolyte ice cubes are what I make when I cannot bring myself to drink another glass of plain water. Green apple, English cucumber, kiwi, whole lemon, fresh mint, Himalayan salt, and coconut water. All blended smooth, strained, and frozen into the most refreshing cubes. Natural, hydrating, and genuinely delicious.
Wash all produce thoroughly, especially the lemon and cucumber since you are using the skin. Chop the green apple into rough chunks, skin on. Chop the cucumber into rough pieces, skin on. Peel and chop the kiwis. Chop the lemon into chunks and remove any seeds carefully before it goes into the blender.
1 organic green apple, ½ organic English cucumber, 3 kiwis, 1 organic lemon
Blend
Add the green apple, cucumber, kiwi, lemon, mint leaves, honey, and Himalayan salt to a blender. Pour in the coconut water. Blend on high speed for a full 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and vibrant green with no visible chunks remaining.
5 fresh mint leaves, 1 tbsp honey, ½ tsp Himalayan salt, 3 cups unsweetened coconut water
Strain
Set a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the sieve. Once most of the liquid has passed through use the back of a large spoon to press the pulp firmly against the mesh. Keep pressing until no more liquid comes through. The pressed pulp is where the most vibrant color and concentrated flavor lives so do not skip this step.
Pour and freeze
Pour the strained liquid slowly and evenly into the silicone ice cube mold filling each cavity to the top. Transfer carefully to the freezer and freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours until the cubes are completely solid all the way through.

Serve
Pop two cubes out of the mold and drop into a glass of sparkling water. Watch as the green color slowly bleeds into the bubbles as the cubes melt. Serve immediately and enjoy as they slowly release their flavor into the drink. Still water works too if sparkling is not your thing.
Nutrition facts are only estimates.StorageOnce fully frozen remove the cubes from the silicone mold and transfer to a zip lock freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. The green color may fade slightly over time but the flavor will still be very good. Do not refreeze once fully melted. The coconut water base does not freeze well a second time.
