Sweet honeydew and tart raspberries balance each other so well that nothing else is needed. The frozen berries chill the drink and give it a light, almost sorbet like body.
250 g
honeydew melon peeled, in chunks
60 g
frozen raspberries
3½ oz
water
Garnish: A few raspberries · Ice: Served up, no ice
Cool, fruity and light, with honeyed melon and a bright raspberry tang.
Three ingredients, two minutes, and a result that looks far more elaborate than it is. Honeydew melon is juicy and mild with a honey like sweetness, and raspberries add colour, acidity and fibre. Raspberries are also a good source of vitamin C.
This smoothie is light rather than filling, which makes it a good choice for a warm day, a small breakfast next to bread or eggs, or a refreshing drink after exercise. Taste your melon first: the riper it is, the less you need to think about sweetness.
Yes. Add two or three ice cubes so the smoothie stays cold.
Yes, it is made only from fruit and water.
Usually not. With a ripe melon it is sweet enough; if the raspberries are very tart, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup.
