But this one has a twist of Honeydew melon to really round out the flavor. I can’t stress it enough, if you get a chance to make juice for the base of your smoothie, there are a few that work really well:
- Watermelon
- Honeydew melon
- Orange
- Apple + berry (whatever kind you really like)
Or, if there’s something else that stands out as easy for you, consider it. Juice makes the best base. I look forward to the start of summer every year for the first Honeydew melons to arrive. I know they are a little ‘crunchy green’ having been shipped half way around the world, but when you juice them, you get all the flavor that you can sweeten up a little if need be. It’s pure goodness!
- 3 oranges
- 1 banana
- 1 inch ripe pineapple
- 1 cup fresh Honeydew melon
- A few small dates as a sweetener
- 1 bowl fresh garden lettuce
I simply love the fact that my garden’s provided me with more than enough beautiful crisp green left lettuce all summer. I hope it lasts for a few more months.
Notice that I picked apart each slice of orange to see if it had seeds in it or not. If so, I removed the seed(s). There’s something about orange seeds that I really don’t like to blend. It’s up to you, but I remove them.
I’m sure this blender full made a little more than this quart. But yum. Give it a try, I’m sure you’ll love it.
