    Lemon Cucumber Popsicles

    Lemon Cucumber Popsicles are refreshing, zingy and perfect for summer! They're like detox water in a frozen treat and are simple to make and delicious. Only 12 calories per popsicle.

    Cucumber popsicles? I see you're a bit unsure. But let me tell you, cucumber adds a really lovely subtle refreshing flavor to the lemony popsicles. 

    They're basically salad on a stick. Yum.

    They're really easy to make and are perfect for hot summer days.

    The days have grown hotter. Much hotter. We bask in a British heatwave and moan comfortably about the weather. Martha and the Vandellas' 'Heatwave' soundtracks everyone like a cloak of Motown that adds a few degrees to the high temperatures, but lifts the spirits from sticky sweat to bopping hips.

    Ice cream, ice lollies, icy poles, ice pops... we need to eat frozen things. Like cucumber popsicles.

    The shops are filled with sickly treats of frozen sugar. What looks like frozen cream is often frozen oil. Unappetising and unhealthy. We yearn for it but it only fills us with rubbish.

    So I've made a frozen treat filled with goodness. Frozen salad on a stick. Pureed refreshing cucumber, with lemon juice and coconut water. It comes together in a frozen treat that rehydrates and tastes so fresh and summery.

    You'll also love my cucumber granita recipe.

      Don't know why but when I try and comment I can't make any corrections and then if I leave the comment box. I can't input any further....this is my fifth try..........just thought I would try on Safari instead of Firefox.....Thought I would let you know.....

      Anyway, I was intrigued by this flavour combo and decided to try it even tho' I didn't really think I would like it. I used reconstituted lemon juice cos that's what I had. I tasted the mix before freezing it and found I needed more sweetener. I tried it today....first taste not so sure....by the time I finished the popsicle.....really enjoyed it...know I will make them again. The cucumber was really refreshing. I think I may use lime next time and if I am really adventurous grapefruit juice......

      Thanks Kate

      (If you get this Safari worked)

        It worked! How strange that Firefox wouldn't work. I'm glad you liked it! Lime and grapefruit sound great - I'll have to try them 🙂

          So I just got back from the grocer's.. decided based on the cucumber popsicle success, I would take an even bigger leap of faith. I'm going to make your cauliflower and chocolate popsicles. I say "even bigger' because I don't fancy cauliflower... The chocolae fudgsicles I make all the time are made with banana and coconut milk. I'll let you know how it goes........

      What a neat idea. I love how it is more savoury. I have made strawberry cucumber smoothies, so frozen cucumber is not so weird to me. 😉

      I always laugh when people suggest cucumber has no flavour because it has such a beautiful flavour and I can imagine these lollies really show it off beautifully!

      What a thoroughly clever idea! Love this easy and unusual way to keep cool. And, can you please divulge where you got your ice lolly moulds? I can't seem to track down these nice "american style" grooved ones. 🙂

      How refreshing! I might add some Stevia or honey to make it sweeter!

      Frozen salad on a stick, I love it! I wonder if a grown up version could be made with a dash of gin? 😉
