Honeydew melon is mostly water, so it makes a smoothie that feels almost like a chilled juice. A ripe nectarine adds a fragrant stone-fruit note and a soft blush of colour.

Light, juicy and sweet with honeyed melon and a fragrant nectarine note.
Melon and stone fruit peak at the same time in summer, and they suit each other well: the melon brings sweetness and a lot of juice, the nectarine a more aromatic, slightly tart flavour. Since the melon is so juicy, only a small amount of water is needed.
The smoothie is light and refreshing rather than filling. It fits a hot afternoon, a light breakfast or a break after sport.
