You Want That Aroma
Today I am making Diane’s Honeydew Strawberry Mint Smoothie. Look at this honeydew melon. I have just the perfect ingredients, Diane, and I can’t wait to try this. It smells like a honeydew, it’s nice and waxy on the outside, it’s heavy, press on the ends and it gives a little bit, that’s how you can tell when honeydew is ripe. But most of all, you want that aroma.
Diane wrote, “I used a whole, small honeydew and cut it up with the mint and then added the frozen strawberries. It was really good.”
Now that is a blender of goodness. Here we go, Diane. That entire honeydew fit perfectly into the VitaMix. Look at that. Watch. Honeydew, strawberries and mint, yummy…
I have some fruit jars I’m going to fill up. Then I’m going to put them in the refrigerator and they will be available to me, my family, whoever opens up the refirgerator can have some of this luscious goodness. High water content, fresh fruits, and that mint, that is a secret ingredient.
Let’s try it. It’s fabulous. The texture is velvety smooth. There’s a hint of the mint and the honeydew is like heaven and the strawberries, who doesn’t love those? Gotta be careful not to guzzle your smoothies, they are a whole food. It’s hard not to when they taste this delicious. Thanks to Diane! But it’s best to sip and savor them, let them work with your salivary juices so you’ll have good digestion and they won’t cause you any upset.

Remember to use these recipes as a jumping off point. If you wanted to add spinach or a different kind of green to this, you can go ahead and do it. Experiment. Find out what works for you. The waterful food life is a good one.
Many thanks to Diane! Only 3 ingredients:
- 1 small honeydew, (watch the vide to see how to determine that your honeydew melon is at the peak of ripeness)
- Small handful fresh mint
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
Blend approx 30 seconds in VitaMix or other high speed blender. Make this and post your comments and questions!

I just made this for breakfast! Very delicious, delightful and waterful.
Hi Angie,
Glad to hear it. In the video I forgot to mention that I used an orange-flesh honeydew, but that any variety, as long as it is ripe, is fine.
What kind of honeydew did you use?
Jane
I just used a normal yellow-skinned one
[..YouTube..] hi! i was just wondering if you ever use stevia powder in your smoothies? i use it in lots of my smoothies because its natural calorie free and tastes great in smoothies!
[..YouTube..] @rach0babe I haven’t used stevia in smoothies yet… thanks for the suggestion!
