Simple Honeydew Smoothie
Servings: 1
This honeydew smoothie is light, refreshing, and naturally sweet, with juicy honeydew and ripe peaches creating a smooth, hydrating blend. A handful of spinach adds fiber and nutrients without changing the fruity flavor, making this an easy way to sneak in greens.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach fresh
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 cup honeydew
- ½ cup nectarine
Instructions
- Deseed and chop honeydew into 2" pieces.
- Blend spinach, honeydew and coconut water until smooth.
- Add nectarine and blend again until smooth.
- Pour into your favorite glass with ice and enjoy!
Notes
- Choose a ripe honeydew: A ripe honeydew should feel heavy for its size and have a slightly waxy, pale yellow rind. The sweeter the melon, the better your smoothie will taste.
- Freeze before blending: For the most refreshing flavor, chill your honeydew before blending or use frozen chunks of nectarine for a colder, slushier texture.
- Adjust sweetness if needed: Honeydew is naturally sweet, but you can add a splash of maple syrup or honey if your melon isn’t very ripe.
- Blend time matters: Blend until completely smooth to break down the melon fibers and achieve a silky texture.
