Yields

7 servings

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups honeydew melon chunks
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 cup coconut water
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

Add the honeydew melon chunks, Greek yogurt, frozen pineapple chunks, coconut water, and honey to a blender. Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy.

Add the chia seeds and blend for another few seconds, until well combined.

Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or consistency as needed. Add ice cubes to the blender if you want a thicker, colder smoothie.

Blend again until the ice is crushed and the smoothie is the desired consistency.

Pour the smoothie into 7 glasses and serve immediately. You can garnish the smoothies with additional honeydew melon chunks or a sprinkle of chia seeds, if desired.

Notes

Make sure to use ripe honeydew melon for the best flavor. If the melon is not ripe, it might give a bitter taste to the smoothie.

You can also use cantaloupe or casaba melon as a substitute if honeydew is not available.

For a creamier smoothie, use more Greek yogurt or add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. If you don’t have coconut water, you can use regular water or another non-dairy milk alternative.

Adjust the amount of honey according to your taste, or use another sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer.

Chia seeds add an extra boost of nutrition, but you can omit them if you don’t have them on hand. Feel free to play around with the ingredients and make this smoothie your own! You can also make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours, just give it a good stir before serving.
