Light, juicy and cold, with sweet melon, strawberry aroma and a slight tartness from the berries.
Melon smoothies are a summer staple because the fruit is so juicy that you need very little extra liquid. Honeydew adds a honeyed, floral sweetness, strawberries contribute their familiar aroma and are known for their vitamin C content, and a portion of frozen mixed berries replaces ice cubes while adding colour.
The result is a thirst-quenching glass rather than a filling meal. It fits a hot afternoon, a light breakfast next to something more substantial, or a break after sport.
Yes. Cantaloupe or Galia work well; watermelon makes the smoothie even thinner, so skip the water.
Yes, it contains only fruit and water.
Melon smoothies separate quickly, so blend just before serving or shake well before drinking.
