Summer has been a mixture of sunshine and rain so far. I’ve had fruits ripen too quickly and needed to be used up before they went off. On one such scorching day, I had a melon and some strawberries that were begging to be finished.
Here’s the MelBerry Smoothie that they turned into.
It doesn’t need a recipe really. Throw in a combination of coolers like melons or cucumbers, flavour with berries or mangoes or any other fruits you like. And there you have it – summer in a glass.

Looks deliciously cool! I am sure it tastes just as wonderful too :)
Thanks, Beloo. It did. Perfect for a hot day.
Mmmm….. and the hammock and book tops it all! ;)
Doesn’t it just? That’s my ideal summer’s day. A hammock, a few books and some refreshments to keep me going. :)) Actually, that’s my ideal day not just in the summer.
Love the blend of colours in the smoothie!
Thanks, Shailaja. I love strawberries with everything. :)
