Cucumber Pear Mojito Slushies

Crisp cucumbers and sweet pears make a surprising and delightful combination in this refreshing slushie. Lime and mint add a little mojito flair. There’s no juicing required for the pears and cucumber, so you get all of the nutrition from the whole fruit and vegetable, too.
