Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized honeydew melon
- 1 medium-sized cantaloupe
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 cup granola
- 6 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Cut the honeydew melon and cantaloupe in half, remove seeds, and scoop out the flesh. You should have about 2 cups of each melon after preparation.
Reserve a few small cubes or melon balls from each melon for garnish, if desired.
In a blender, combine the honeydew melon, cantaloupe, Greek yogurt, honey, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey, if needed.
Divide the smoothie evenly between two serving glasses or bowls.
Top each serving with granola and the reserved melon pieces for garnish.
Finally, garnish with a sprig of mint, if desired, and serve immediately with a spoon or straw.
