Instructions
Start by preparing the melons. Scoop or dice the cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon to measure 1 cup of each. Remove seeds from the watermelon if necessary.
In a blender, add the cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and honey (if using).
Add the ice cubes to the blender to give the smoothie a frosty texture.
Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Blend for a few more seconds to combine.
Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
