A refreshing healthy starter in summer or an in-between palate cleanser, packed with vitamins C and A.
Ingredients
- 1kg rockmelon or other melon, peeled and diced
- ½ tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- Juice of 2 oranges
- Juice of 2 limes
- Fresh mint leaves to garnish
Directions
- In a high-powered blender, combine melon, minced ginger, orange juice and lime juice.
- Blend for 2 mins or until completely smooth. Pour into a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hr.
- Spoon into 6 small bowls and garnish with mint leaves.
Chef's Tips
- You can also add the fruit or toppings to the blender at step 2 (or 2 tablespoons cocoa) to create different nice cream flavours such as strawberry, peanut or chocolate.
- This tastes just as good as regular ice cream but is super healthy; I love it!
- Best eaten immediately as sadly it does not freeze well once blended.
- This is delicious served on wholemeal pancakes for breakfast!
