Honeydew Lemonade Smoothie

My friend Camille and I recently taught a smoothie class.  It was so hilarious...but that's a whole other story for another blog!  ;)

This was one of the recipes I shared because it's a little different from the normal fruit smoothies I make.  I usually don't add a lot of sugar or concentrated pre~made anything.  Not that there is anything wrong with that, it's just not what I usually do.  The frozen lemonade concentrate is a great balance to the mellow honeydew melon.  My kids love this!  My favorite part might be the crushed lemon candies, they make it fun and add a sweetness that is great.  It's not a big deal to crush up a few candies.  Right?

Smoothie~
1 (12 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
6 cups honeydew melon chunks, about 1 large melon
4 tablespoons vanilla yogurt
2~3 cups ice, depending on how you prefer it

Garnish~ It's not just cute, it adds to the drink!
1 lemon
Crushed lemon candies

Garnish~
Place a handful of lemon candies in a plastic Ziploc bag and crush with a meat mallet or rolling pin.  Use whatever gets the job done.  Transfer the crushed candies to a bowl the glass will fit inside with a little extra room on the sides.  Slice the lemon and run a wedge around the rim of the glass, keeping the glass upside down so the juice doesn't drip down (not a big deal, but it will look better).  Place juiced rim in bowl with candies and pull it up.  Set glasses aside while you make the smoothie.

Smoothie~
Blend all ingredients in a blender until ice is crushed.  Pour carefully into sugared glasses.  Enjoy!
