Cucumber Melon Smoothie

I like to start my day with a portion of seasonal fruit before I eat my breakfast. Easy to digest, full of beneficial, liver loving enzymes, vitamins and minerals and healthy fiber. Papaya with a squeeze of lime is a current summer favorite as is melon. And sometimes, instead of cut fruit I throw a combo in the Vitamix blender and drink it up instead. Here is a light and refreshing summer smoothie that combines the health boosting and hydrating properties of cucumber with honeydew melon. A bit of mint and lime and the taste is complete…

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chopped cucumber (preferably with the skin – choose organic!)
  • 1 1/1 cup chopped honeydew melon
  • a small handful of mint leaves
  • tsp of lime juice

Preparation

  • Place the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth
