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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Reserve a few small cubes or melon balls from each melon for garnish, if desired.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the honeydew melon, cantaloupe, Greek yogurt, honey, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and ice cubes.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey, if needed.

Step 6

Divide the smoothie evenly between two serving glasses or bowls.

Step 7

Top each serving with granola and the reserved melon pieces for garnish.

Step 8

Finally, garnish with a sprig of mint, if desired, and serve immediately with a spoon or straw.
