Mellow Melon Smoothie

Mmmm… Drinking in the mellow goodness of summer with this thick and creamy smoothie that refreshingly fills the gap between meals – or even replaces one… I had this before a workout and was fully energized without feeling full.

Cantaloupe is at its ripest and juiciest right now, and offers us a powerhouse of immune system-boosting nutrients with few calories. Avocados are at their summer best, as well, and deliver high quality essential fatty acids, great for the skin and hair. Coconut water, among its many miraculous health benefits, balances the body’s water content and helps lubricate the digestive system. Peaches give the drink a boost of sweet vitamin C, and bananas add a calming creaminess. Whip it up in seconds and do yourself a world of good.
