Honeydew melon is so juicy that it almost replaces the liquid. Blackberries and blueberries turn it deep purple and add a pleasant tartness, while pear keeps it sweet and smooth.

Melon Blackberry Smoothie with Chia Seeds

Taste

Juicy and fruity, sweet melon with tart dark berries and a light, slightly thick body.

About this smoothie

Melon and berries are a natural summer combination. Honeydew is mostly water, with a sweet, delicate flavour, and it makes the smoothie light and refreshing. Blackberries and blueberries bring colour, fruity acidity and some fibre, and chia seeds give the drink a little more body.

This smoothie is at its best in late summer, when melons are ripe and berries are cheap. It works as a light breakfast or a cold drink on a hot afternoon.

Bartender tips

Frozen berries make the smoothie icy without watering it down.
Blackberry seeds can be noticeable; strain it through a sieve if you prefer it perfectly smooth.
