Instructions
- Combine the honeydew, cucumber, coconut milk, mint, and ice in the base of a high-speed blender.
- Process on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely blended.
- Serve immediately, or strain the smoothie through a fine-mesh strainer to serve as a cooler.
- To serve this smoothie as a mocktail, top it with a few ounces of chilled sparkling mineral water or naturally-flavored carbonated water (I like the Spindrift Lime flavor).
