This week we’re back with Eating the Alphabet and it’s the letter H! I’ve chosen Honeydew because it is easy to find in the summertime and a fruit that my family is not usually going to eat as we find it one of the more bland melons. But it’s packed with Vitamin C and potassium so I thought I would give it another try. I’m flip-flopping things this time and posting the letter and recipe first and will do our review of what we thought in the next Eating the Alphabet write up. I found the recipe below online and it looks delicious and easy!

Honeydew Smoothie
from Food Network’s Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee

2 cups honeydew melon, cubed
1 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons apple juice, from frozen concentrate
Ice
Honeydew melon slices, for garnish

Directions
In a blender, combine melon, yogurt, and apple juice concentrate. Blend until smooth. With blender running, add ice until frothy.
Pour into 2 (16-ounce) glasses and garnish with sliced melon.
