This smoothie uses melon seeds! Rich in vitamins, minerals and protein, tap into their nutrition by blending with water and straining/discarding solids.
Ingredients
- 2 cups spinach, collards or kale, stemmed
- ½ cup fresh mint, stemmed
- 2 cups melon, fresh or frozen (cantaloupe, galia, canary, piel de sapo…)
- ½ – 1 banana
- 1 kiwifruit, peeled
- 1 cup “melon seed water” (see note), or your alt-milk of choice, plus more for desired consistency
- Ice as needed
- Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon
Directions
- Load the ingredients into your blender in the order listed. Blend at high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Note: To make “melon seed water,” blend seeds and inner melon goo with 2 cups water until seeds are broken down. Strain through nut milk bag, very fine strainer or cheesecloth so you remove all seed bits.
