This hydrating fruit punch started in my kitchen after a hot walk with the kids. We were sweaty, tired, and needed something fast—without the fake stuff. I blended cucumber, pineapple, lemon, and coconut water. No sugar, just real fruit.
It worked. Cold, refreshing, and naturally sweet. Now it’s one of our favorite resets.
Pair it with Iced Honeydew Mint Tea or Island Breeze Bomb if you want more clean hydration.

- 2 cucumbers (peeled and chopped)

Instructions
- Prep the produce: Peel and chop cucumbers and pineapple. Peel and slice the lemon, or juice it if you want a smoother texture.
- Blend it all: In a blender, combine cucumber, pineapple, lemon (or juice), and coconut water. Blend until completely smooth.

Tips & Variations for Hydrating Fruit Punch
Flavor Tweaks
Want it tangier? Use lemon juice only. For more tropical depth, swap coconut water with watermelon juice or add mint while blending. If your pineapple’s too tart, toss in a few slices of ripe mango to round it out.
You can even turn it into a mocktail base. Just blend as usual and top with sparkling water or a splash of Tropical Galaxy Mocktail for bubbles.
Fun Ways to Serve
Serve it in mason jars with cucumber ribbons for a spa-day feel, or freeze it into punchy popsicles for post-pool recovery. Want it colder longer? Freeze some in ice cube trays and drop them back into the glass as you sip.
For a fruity party spread, pair it with Strawberry Piña Colada Lava Flow and serve everything in clear glass pitchers.
