Honeydew Hefeweizen Smoothie Recipe
Makes ~4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1/2 of a Honeydew Melon
- 3 and 1/3 Cups Vanilla Ice Cream
- 1 Cup Hefeweizen (Wheat Beer)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Fun Straws (optional)
- Small and Thin Honeydew Slices for Garnish (optional)
Instructions:
cut the honeydew in half and then remove and discard the seeds using a metal spoon. Wrap up half of the melon and put it in the refrigerator to eat at your convenience.
Cut the honeydew into 2 inch thick slices and then peel the outer skin off of each slice. It is better to cut them into long slices before peeling because they are easier to hold and peel that way than when they are still in a giant awkward half-sphere.
Once all of the slices are peeled, cut the honeydew melon into roughly 2 x 3 inch chunks. Place half of the pieces in the freezer, and the other half in the refrigerator. Let them chill for 1 hour.
Place half of the the melon pieces into a blender with half of the other ingredients. Put the lid on the blender and blend on high until the mixture is completely blended, about 45 seconds. Pour the mixture into glasses, then repeat this process with the other half of the ingredients.
Serve immediately with fun straws and a small slices of fresh honeydew, if desired.

Vibrant Orange Juice Frosty Recipe
serves two – or one extra tall glass
The secret to this smoothie/frosty is really the fresh squeezed OJ. Yes, you could make this smoothie with regular orange juice, but it won’t have that vibrant bite of citrus that comes with fresh squeezed.
- 4 Valencia oranges, squeezed
- 1 small banana, ripe
- 1/3 cup frozen peaches
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
- 1/3 cup ice
Blend. Pour. Garnish with a citrus twist and serve!
