Ingredients

melon banana smoothie
2 slice melon
1 banana
1/2 c greek yogurt, plain & strained
vanilla bean (the seeds of half a vanilla bean or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
MELON CUCUMBER SMOOTHIE
2 slice melon
1/2 cucumber
1/2 c yogurt
a few mint leaves
a bit of fresh ginger (optional)

Choose your favorite combination and enjoy!
