Honeydew Smoothie

1. Combine the honeydew, cucumber, mint, and ice in the base of a high-speed blender.
2. Process on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely blended.
3. Serve immediately, or strain the smoothie through a fine-mesh strainer to serve as a cooler. Top with chilled sparkling mineral water or naturally-flavored carbonated water (I like the Spindrift Lime flavor).

Notes:

1. Store any leftovers in a covered glass in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
2. Peel the cucumbers before you blend them if you are sensitive to lectins or to the skin of cucumbers.
3. You can easily double or triple this recipe if you are serving more than two people.
4. Use a high-speed blender to ensure that the smoothie gets very creamy and fully blended.
5. If you want to take this smoothie recipe to the next level, you can strain the blended ingredients in a fine-mesh strainer and serve it with a shot of chilled sparkling mineral water or naturally-flavored sparkling carbonated water.
