Repeat: Melon, banana, mint and soya milk

Having slightly too many honeydew melon and bananas and some left over of soya mlik, I thought I will give it another go, while changing slightly the quantities of each.

Hence I made two pints of smoothie, using 1 melon, 2.5 bananas, 8 mints leaves, and approximately 10cl of soya milk. The mint leaves are cut in small pieces then added to the other ingredients before blending all of them together.

I like the smoothie, but thought, the taste of bananas was far more pronounced than yesterday. I prefer yesterday in terms of balance of flavours. The second judge today thought this was a bit sweet. Hence the mark for today is only 6 out of 10.

Melon, banana, mint and soya milk

I tried this smoothie again and I really like it. It is simple and very refreshing. Not to say fully of season.

Made a pint, with half a (green) melon, a banana, some mint and some soya milk.

Mark of 8/10

Perfect summer smoothie

Made of half a (green) melon, 2 small mangoes, 2 nectarines, and half a banana.

I got two pints out of it, and a taste of 7 out of 10. You could taste all fruits at different time which I absolutely adored.

Minty summer (?) smoothie

I only wrote the (?) based on the rainy weather we have had to cope here in London over the last few days, hence the fact I am wondering whether we could still consider being in summer.

Today, I made a pint ( 660ml) of the following smoothie: half a melon, a small banana, 3 fresh mint leaves, and a bit of soya milk.

I was pleasantlys urprised with the result which was very light and refreshing. Highly recommended. Hence a mark of 8 out of 10.

Minty taste

Today's smoothie was made of a half of melon, a banana, 2 sweet tamarind, a freshly squeeze pink grapefruit and 3 leaves of mint.

It was nice and refreshing but had a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Hence, a mark of only 5 out of ten. These quantities made just a pint.

Simple return smoothie

Back home after a few weeks away, I had the pleasure to make my own smoothie this morning, and I decided to make a simple one.

Half a pinapple, 2 small mangoes and a freshly squeezed pink grapefruit was all I needed to make a pint of a half of a smooth and aromatic drink. Mark 7 out of 10.

Such a pleasure to be back home!!! :-)
