Drinking in the mellow goodness of summer with this thick and creamy smoothie 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.
Mellow Melon Smoothie For 3:
- 1/2 small organic cantaloupe
- 1 banana
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 small organic peach
- 1/2 liter coconut water
Blend until smooth and creamy. Sip, and share the bliss.

hi kali, did you try the recipe? how did you like the avocado add? avocados are amazing to add to sweets and desserts – give whatever you’re adding it to a gorgeous creamy texture and the added nutritional density. i make a delish cocoa cream pie using avocados as well. y-ommm
This sounds delicious! Whenever I think of making a smoothie I never think of adding lots of different ingredients. It’s usually just strawberry and banana. My husband is a bit picky, can you taste the avocado at all? We tend not to be breakfast eaters and this would be a perfect alternative since breakfast is such an important meal. Thanks for sharing these great recipe!
