Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 0.5 cup water

In a blender, combine the melon chunks, Greek yogurt, honey, fresh lime juice, ice cubes, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little extra water and blend again to reach your desired consistency.

Pour the melon cream cooler into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing drink!
