If you'd like a sweeter smoothie, add a little agave or use sweetened almond milk. I thought it was perfect without either but it depends on the ripeness of the melon. This recipe makes a very large serving - possibly 2 servings - but I don't mess around and make skimpy smoothies! It would, however, be very easy to cut in half for a smaller size.
I had an unexpected visitor right when I poured this so the picture was taken after it sat for about 5 minutes. It wasn't so melty-looking at first! |

Do YOU think this tastes like a creamsicle?
Hey, I think that the melty look is a very enticing one indeed! That sounds fantastic... And since I usually think of orange when I'm fixing for a creamsicle, I might just have to try this with orange juice in place of the almond milk.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a great idea! Let me know how it turns out. You might want to add a little bit of milk, though, for the creaminess and that little bit of vanilla flavor. Or maybe some vanilla extract.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just corrected the recipe to 1/2 cup almond milk, not 1/4. So you could do 1/4 almond milk, 1/4 orange juice.
ReplyDeleteNow you need to work on a chocolate/orange flavored concoction
