Ingredients for melon and watermelon smoothie:
Before we get down to business, let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need to make this spectacular smoothie:
- 1 cup diced watermelon
- 1 cup diced cantaloupe
- 1 cup plain yoghurt (you can use Greek yoghurt if you want a creamier texture)
- 1/2 cup milk (can be cow’s milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, to add an extra touch of sweetness)
- Ice, a couple of ice cubes, to make the shake cold.
- Mint leaves, optional.
And that’s it! With just these few ingredients, we are ready to make magic in the blender.
How to make the melon and watermelon smoothie?
Step 1: Prepare the fruit
First, make sure the watermelon and honeydew melon are nice and cold. You can pop them in the fridge a few hours before making the smoothie so they’re nice and chilled. Then, cut the watermelon and honeydew melon into small cubes.
Step 2: Blend the ingredients
Now, place the watermelon and melon chunks in the blender. Add the natural yoghurt and milk. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use less milk; if you prefer it thinner, add a little more. Then, add the tablespoon of honey to give it that touch of natural sweetness, along with the ice.
Step 3: Serve and enjoy
Once everything is well blended and has a smooth consistency, pour the smoothie into tall glasses. If you want to add a special touch, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves. And there you have it! Your melon and watermelon smoothie is ready to enjoy.
Additional advice
- If you prefer your smoothies even colder, you can freeze the melon and watermelon cubes before blending them. This will make your smoothie super refreshing!
- For a lighter version, you can leave out the yoghurt and use just milk or even coconut water.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a little grated ginger or a pinch of cinnamon for a bit of a twist.
