Honeydew is under-appreciated, I feel. It usually makes its home as the filler fruit in fruit cups across the country, but today it will take center stage in this crisp, refreshing smoothie. Recipe and image via Will Cook For Friends.

Sweet Honeydew Mint Smoothie

Ingredients:

1/2 honeydew melon, cut into chunks (about 4 cups, or 1 1/2 lbs)
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1-2 leaves fresh mint (plus more for garnish)
1/2-1 tsp. fresh lime juice (or to taste)
1 cup ice
Drizzle of honey or coconut nectar, to taste (optional, depending on how sweet your melon is)
