Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups honeydew melon cubed and chilled
- 1 cup baby spinach packed
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves stems removed
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or non-fat
- 1 tbsp honey optional, depending on melon sweetness
- 1 tsp lime juice freshly squeezed
- 0.5 cup coconut water or plain water for thinning
- 1 cup ice cubes for a frostier texture
Notes
For the best flavor, ensure your honeydew is very ripe and fragrant. To make ahead, portion the melon, spinach, and basil into freezer bags; simply add liquid and yogurt when ready to blend. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural—just shake well before drinking.
