Honeydew melon is so juicy that this smoothie needs very little water. Two kinds of apple balance its sweetness: a red one for body, a green one for bite.

red apple cored
½
green apple cored

honeydew melon peeled, seeded
3½ oz
water
Garnish: Apple slice · Ice: Served up, no ice
Light and juicy, with honeyed melon, sweet apple and a crisp, tart finish.
Honeydew melon has pale green flesh, a high water content and a delicate, honeyed sweetness when fully ripe. It makes smoothies light and thirst-quenching, which is why it is a summer favourite.
Mixing red and green apples is a simple trick: the red apple brings sweetness and body, the green one acidity and freshness. The result tastes rounder than either alone. Serve it well chilled on warm days or after exercise.
Honeydew is ideal; Galia or cantaloupe work too but change colour and flavour.
Yes, it contains only fruit and water.
Yes, if your melon is very juicy the smoothie will still be drinkable without it.
