I don’t know about you, but drinks like this Healthy Cucumber Lemonade make my summers so much better. With all the barbecues and summer parties it’s really hard to say no to sugary cocktails and soda pop that seem to re-appear every year as soon as the weather gets warm.
To save all those empty calories and to boost my family’s nutrition, I love creating refreshing homemade drinks like this Healthy Cucumber Lemonade to enjoy on hot summer days. I’ve already shared a few of my favourite cool mocktails with you, like this Watermelon Green Tea Refresher, but I’ve been wanting to create a new lemonade drink with cucumbers for months and I have finally perfected it!
Truly, I love everything about cucumbers and I enjoy them almost every day. On lazy days I munch on cucumber slices for snacks and lunch, I enjoy them on salads all the time, and I even throw a few cucumber slices in my water bottle most days for some added fresh flavor. Cucumber and lemon go so perfectly together and they make this Healthy Cucumber Lemonade just explode with flavor.
I add carbonated water to this Healthy Cucumber Lemonade because I love it that way, but it’s just as refreshing with still water if that’s what you prefer. And feel free to experiment with the amount of water you add until it’s the right taste for you – we like it strong, but if you prefer a milder flavor just add a little more water!
I hope you enjoy this Healthy Cucumber Lemonade recipe! Let me know in the comments below, what’s your favorite healthy summer drink?

Right now lemons are very expensive in this area – can you use lemon juice from a jar? If yes, how much?
Chrissie says
You could, although I wouldn’t recommend it as conventional lemon juice from a jar or bottle is awfully concentrated and tastes very acidic. Juicing one lemon yields about 2 tablespoons, so that should give you an idea 🙂
