Lemonade Cucumber Popsicles

Reposting from Pinterest.  Thought this sounded so refreshing on a hot day...  Looks to be approximately 1.5 - 2 carbs per popsicle  ;D ;D

Lemonade Cucumber Spa Popsicles
makes 3 cups of popsicle mix

NOTES:

•These spa pops are a healthier & more cost efficient alternative to store bought pops. More eco too, no packaging to toss!
•As always, use your own taste buds to determine how sweet you want your ice pops.
INGREDIENTS

•1 cup julienned seedless Cucumber
•1 fresh squeezed Lemon, remove any seeds
•2 cups cold Water
•Natural Sweetener added to taste: use your favorite, I use Stevia. Maple Syrup, Honey & Agave are good too
METHOD

Slice lemon in half and squeeze it over a strainer into 2 cups of cold water. Sweeten lemon water to taste with your favorite sweetener. Fill popsicle molds 2/3 with lemonade. Freeze uncovered for about 1 hour. Take pops out of freezer. Scrape and stir any ice crystals that have formed. Add a spoonful of the julienned cucumber to the pop molds. Be sure to leave a tiny bit of room at the top of your popsicle mold so they don’t overflow when you add the stick. With a popsicle stick or a butter knife, press the cucumber into the mixture so it is evenly distributed. Add your popsicle sticks, freeze pops for another 3-4 hours until solid.
