Helpful Tips and Variations
- If honey is not available, agave syrup works as a great alternative.
- For an extra dose of vitamins, add a handful of spinach leaves without changing the flavor profile.
- Serve in chilled glasses to enhance the refreshing quality of the smoothie.
- This smoothie is perfect for any brunch gathering or as a cooling refreshment during a summer barbecue.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 1 day. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option.
- In place of honeydew melon, cantaloupe or watermelon can be used for a different but equally exciting flavor.
