Post workout refreshing drink freshly made at home. AAHHH!!! What more can I ask for?
This is my most favorite part of the day! Sweat like crazy and then enjoy this healthy Kale Honey Dew Melon Smoothie. I love greens in my food in any form and nothing can be better than blending it into a smoothie which also helps in complete hydration. π
Letβs talk about Honey Dew Melon β though I am not a huge fan of Honey Dew Melon but I loved the flavor and the texture of this smoothie with the honey dew melon as one of the main ingredient. Honey Dew Melon with its smooth light green cover is a perfect choice for hot summer (summer is at its peak here) full of vitamin C, a good source of potassium , high in fiber and its Vitamin B6 content helps in boosting metabolism.
Kale as we all know is one of the supreme green leaves bombarded with all the possible nutrition like calcium, iron, potassium, vitamins and minerals and many more and itβs my favorite green food for smoothies.
I added chia seeds to add the benefit of super food and protein to my smoothie since itβs a post workout recovery drink and sweetened the smoothie with banana to add potassium and good carbs and blended with pure almond milk. Β
Every sip of Kale Honey Dew Melon Smoothie was heavenly and energizing. This has become my everyday post workout smoothie till the summer lasts and fresh honey dew melons are available in all the stores. π

Notes
This looks delicious! A juice bar just opened up down the street from me, and my favorite, the “Detox Greens” has honey dew– I had never thought of using it in juice/smoothies before, but I will definitely start! What a great summer drink.
Another great looking healthy recipe! Thanks for sharing, always looking for ways to incorporate more kale!
I love the pretty green color and I have always been a fan of honeydew melon.
Looks delicious! What a lovely color it ends up being!
I love smoothies, and this looks delicious.
