Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
• 1 cucumber peeled and sliced
• 1-2 tbsp lime juice optional, for extra zing

• Ice cubes optional
• Water as needed

Instructions

 

• In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks and cucumber slices.
• Add lime juice if you want to enhance the flavor and mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
