Peel the cucumbers and cut them into chunks for easier blending.
Juice both limes and set the juice aside.
In a blender, combine the cucumber chunks, lime juice, honey, water, chili powder, and salt.
Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness, salt, or chili powder as desired.
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top for expansion.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully solidified.
To remove the paletas, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.
Serve immediately and enjoy these refreshing and zesty treats!
