Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup cubed melon
- 1 cup kombucha
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of fresh strawberries, 1 cup of cubed melon (such as cantaloupe or honeydew), 1 cup of kombucha, 1 tablespoon of fresh mint leaves, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water. Remove the green tops and slice them in half. Set aside.
- If you haven't already, cut your melon into cubes. Make sure to remove the seeds and skin before cubing. Place the melon cubes in a bowl.
- In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, cubed melon, kombucha, fresh mint leaves, and lime juice. The kombucha will add a fizzy, tangy flavor to the smoothie.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a little more kombucha or some water.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie. If you desire more sweetness, consider adding a drizzle of honey or agave syrup, but this is optional as the fruits and kombucha provide natural sweetness.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses. You can garnish with additional mint leaves or a slice of strawberry on the rim of each glass for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Melon Mint Kombucha Smoothie!
Tips
- Choose ripe, sweet fruits for maximum flavor intensity. The ripeness of your strawberries and melon will significantly impact the smoothie's taste.
- Use chilled kombucha and pre-frozen fruits to create an extra cold and creamy texture without watering down the smoothie.
- Experiment with different kombucha flavors - ginger or berry variants can add an interesting twist to the recipe.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a handful of almonds while blending.
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, strain the mint leaves before blending to avoid any leafy texture.
- Always serve immediately to enjoy the maximum fizzy and fresh qualities of the kombucha.
