    Melon milk

    Joni Sare
    Therapeutic chef and nutrition educator, Cupertino

    Melon milk
    Melon adds summer sweetness to this simple, refreshing beverage. Consider other fruits, too. Blend with ice to make it a slushy consistency.
    Melon milk

    Ingredients

    2 cups chopped honeydew, chilled
    2 cups unsweetened almond milk, chilled
    1/8 tsp. salt
    Optional: 2 pinches ground cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and/or 1/4 tsp. vanilla

     

    Directions

    Blend all ingredients well on high speed in a blender. Strain to remove melon fiber for a silkier texture. If mixture is too thick, add water or more almond milk. If too thin, add more melon.

    Variations:

    • Instead of almond milk, use 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk, or 1 cup coconut milk and 1 cup water.
    • Instead of honeydew, use fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, peaches, pears or other types of melons.
