A super-fruity Honeydew Melon Smoothie with added banana, strawberry to provide a refreshing boost of antioxidant deliciousness.

I love smoothies.. If you also love smoothies, this Honeydew Banana and Strawberry Smoothie  is definitely a glass you wanna try. It’s fruity, refreshing and gorgeously full of antioxidants, and also sugar-free, gluten-free, fat-free, sodium-free. Indeed… it may be just what you need to beat the summer heat. Different types of Melons have always been the summer favorite. Different melons bring different qualities and flavor.

The fruit choice is a magic combination, that complements in flavor as well as offering a gorgeous pink hue to the glass… This smoothie contains Honeydew melon, strawberries, banana, lime, ice, little honey for sweetness and a hint of lemon zest. Banana helps thicken the mix, but also brings some sweetness. Lemon juice and zest bring the punch you needed in a smoothie.

You may think.. Melon may not be the obvious choice for a smoothie. But once tried, you may find it being regularly dropped into the blender. It brings a uniqueness of flavor that pairs with so many other fruits… Enhancing without over-powering, yet holding its own to be distinctly recognizable with every sip. Try it once and Melon Smoothie will be understood.
