Avocado Mojito Smoothie

Brent and I woke up this morning and decided that after a light breakfast we were going to go on a bike ride.  It was 85˚F and ridiculously humid.  We got home completely deflated and I decided to make us a smoothie I had found online to help with some electrolytes.  Coconut water is FILLED with electrolytes!

We went shopping yesterday for fruit and veggies for our smoothies and discovered the honey dew melon we purchased was $7.  Yikes!  However, after tasting how incredible this smoothie is I am glad to make it several more times.

Don't let the avocado fool, you - you can't even taste it.  I'm dead serious.  And it really does taste like a mojito!  :)


It tasted so good I drank half of it before I remembered to take a damn picture.  Whoops!

Here's what you'll need:
1-1/4 cup frozen honey dew melon chunks
1/2 avocado, seeded and peeled
1-1/2 cup coconut water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
4-6 mint leaves
1/2 cup water

Add all of your ingredients to your blender and puree until smooth.  Divide between two glasses and enjoy!  It makes two very good sized smoothies!

Here's the link to the recipe!
