Description
A refreshing and frosty honeydew melon mint smoothie that cools you down on hot summer days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen honeydew cubes
- 1 small ripe banana, sliced and frozen
- 10 to 12 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
- 3/4 cup cold coconut water or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant yogurt, 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein, 1 cup baby spinach, 1 teaspoon honey or maple to taste
- Ice cubes as needed for thickness
Instructions
- Add liquids to the blender first, then frozen fruit and mint on top to help the blades catch quickly.
- Blend on low to start, then increase to high until completely smooth and fluffy, about 30 to 45 seconds.
- Taste and adjust. Add more mint for chill, a splash of lime for brightness, or a little sweetener if your melon is mild.
- If too thin, add a handful of ice or more frozen melon. If too thick, splash in more liquid.
- Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy right away for peak frostiness.
Notes
For a thicker texture, keep serving glasses in the freezer while blending. Can also be made into popsicles or smoothie bowls.
