I like trying to use melons in smoothies because they’re so refreshing.  They’re also a quintessential summer food.  As I discovered last year, watermelon can be tricky because it’s just so, well, watery.  I’d wanted to try a smoothie using honeydew melon last year, but the melon kept getting eaten before I had a chance to use it in a smoothie.  So this year I made sure to grab some before it was all gone.  I decided to mix it with blueberries because I like blueberries.  As a bonus blueberries are really good for you.

What you’ll need

Blueberry Melon Smoothie:

• 1 cup diced honeydew melon
• ½ cup blueberries
• 5-6 ice cubes
• 1 5.3 oz container vanilla or blueberry yogurt
• Pinch of salt
• Sugar to taste

In a blender combine the melon, blueberries and ice cubes until mostly broken down.  Add the yogurt, salt and sugar and blend until smooth.  Pour into a nice tall glass and enjoy!
