Sunday Smoothies: Triple Melon -Raspberry with Spinach, Carrot and Soy Milk

Green Girl Goodies, August 2012

Lately sweet summer melons have become a favorite in my smoothie creations.  I picked up a golden watermelon at my local farmers market and it was a great compliment to the honeydew and cantaloupe.  If you can’t find a golden watermelon a regular watermelon would work as well.

Yield 2 large 32 oz servings or 4 small 16 oz servings

1 c Honeydew Melon

1 c Cantaloupe

1 c Golden Watermelon

1 c Raspberries, frozen

½ Block Silken Tofu “Firm”, preferably Mori-Nu

2 c Spinach

3 c Vanilla Soy Milk

1 c Carrot Juice

2 tb Honey Flavored Agave

2 tb Chia Seed

-     Place the melon, raspberries and spinach in the blender.

-     Add the soy milk and carrot juice.

-     Add the agave, being careful to pour in the middle so it doesn’t get stuck on the sides of the blender.

-     Blend well.  Remove some of the smoothie to make room for the tofu and split the part removed from the blender accordingly.

-     Use your hand to crush up the tofu as you place it in the blender.

-     Blend again and split amongst your servings accordingly.  Add the chia seeds, stir and enjoy!
