Feel Cool Cucumber Lime Jalapeño Popsicles

Healthy homemade Cucumber Lime Jalapeño Popsicles are the ultimate summer treat! Straight out of the freezer, these refreshing green goodies will cool you down and quench your thirst. Even better, these popsicles are something the whole family will enjoy.

I think it is important to have treats from time to time. We deserve it! But I also think it’s important to make sure what we indulge in uplifts us, instead of drags us down. Often store-bought popsicles are laden with fructose corn syrup or way too much sugar. Sugar crash, anyone? No thank you! Enjoy my Cucumber Lime Jalapeño Popsicles instead! They are super simple to make and last in the freezer for weeks.

And though there are only 4 ingredients in my Cucumber Lime Jalapeño Popsicles, they still pack quite the punch of healthy goodness.

Cooling Cucumbers

Cucumbers are one of the best foods since they have such a high water content. This makes them super hydrating and perfect for summer! Besides water, cucumbers are also made up of B vitamins and vitamin C. Often in these warmer months our bodies can overheat and retain water. So, it is a great idea to keep snacks like my Cucumber Lime Jalapeño Popsicles on hand. They help keep you cool and hydrated while boosting your nutrients and balancing your electrolytes.

Other key nutrients cucumbers contain are potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium. And even cooler to note, cucumbers can help prevent dull skin on your body. The phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collage in your outer skin later to tighten up, meaning cucumbers can actually reduce the visibility of cellulite! How cool is that!?! Maybe next time you are going to a pool party, think about bringing these treats along. And feel so cool rocking that cute bikini of yours, while knowing your popsicle is working some beauty magic!

Sour Limes

I often hear a common question about limes… “Are limes just an unripe lemon?” I can understand why some people might think this, but the answer is no. Limes are not the unripe sister of a lemon. Limes are actually their own fruit completely. Though they do have very similar qualities to lemons.

You know how much I love my lemons, Beauties. Yet just like those yellow-fellows, limes have a special place in my heart too. Limes have loads of vitamin C and enzymes and cleansing properties. They are filled with antioxidants helping to fight off free radical damage and boost your beauty. And they are a great source of dietary fiber! Just don’t try to eat limes in one sitting. They can be tart and sour which will really mess with your taste buds after a while.

So as you slowly savor your Cucumber Lime Jalapeño Popsicles, think about all the benefits you are granting yourself. Not only are you cooling off with a healthy treat, but also you are boosting your body with amazing health benefits. And you are doing this all while avoiding excess sugar 🙂 Good job, Beauty!
