Cucumber Limeade Mocktail (with Collagen!)
By Holly Darnell, RD
July 28, 2022
Heat, humidity. It's here in most place of the U.S. and beyond, and sometimes a cold glass of water doesn't cut it. Maybe a mocktail that's refreshing, tasty and fun to drink? That's this Cucumber Limeade Mocktail, that includes perfect summer drink ingredients alongside one of our most underrated collagen flavors: Multi Collagen Protein Cucumber Lime.
The combination of cucumber, fresh mint, lime juice, a bit of sea salt and sparkling water is something to savor, for and anyone joining you for drink. Even better, it includes a serving of our clinically studied collagen for better skin, gut health and joints ... and clocks in at only 59 calories for an ideal light summer drink.
Cucumbers: Providing both polyphenol antioxidants and vitamin K, drinking a form of cucumber water can help cleanse and even help cut your intake of added sugar. It's also a major thirst quencher, as cucumbers have a very high water content.
Limes: Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, limes also provide calcium, iron, potassium and fiber. Like cucumbers, limes are a good cleansing ingredient that can help flush the body and help battle aging.
Multi Collagen Protein Cucumber Lime: Light in cucumber flavor with a kick of lime, this blend is a tasteful addition to many mocktails but especially the one below. This hydrolyzed collagen protein powder also mixes perfectly.
In a high speed blender, combine the cucumber, sparkling water, mint leaves, lime juice, Cucumber Lime Multi Collagen Protein powder and salt. Blend the mixture on high until totally liquified, about one minute.
Run the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or bowl. Be careful not to press too much on the pulp to avoid any bitterness from the skin. Stir to combine.
Pour minty cucumber limeade over ice. Optional to garnish with mint sprig, cucumber and/or lime wedge.
