Juicy and refreshing with honeyed melon, a silky body and a light peppery finish.
Honeydew melon consists mostly of water and has a delicate, honeyed sweetness, which makes it one of the most refreshing smoothie fruits in summer. A quarter of a ripe avocado gives body and a silky texture without masking the melon. The rocket is used sparingly here, just enough to add a green, slightly peppery edge.
The smoothie is light, pale green and suits a hot afternoon or a summer breakfast. Honey is optional; a ripe melon is usually sweet enough.
