Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prepare the melon by cutting it in half, scooping out the seeds, and trimming away the skin. Cut into chunks until you have 2/3 cup.
Add melon chunks, banana, walnuts, almond milk, vanilla extract, and ice to a blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use frozen melon and banana for a thicker, colder smoothie.
Substitute walnuts with other nuts or omit for a nut-free version.
Add a Medjool date or a touch of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Oat milk or dairy milk can be used instead of almond milk.
Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours and shake before serving.
