Blender Girl’s Basil Melon Mania
Ingredients
- 4 cups (680g) chopped and chilled ripe honeydew melon
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil, plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1‚ÅÑ2 small avocado, pitted and peeled
- 10 drops alcohol-free liquid stevia, plus more to taste
- Pinch of natural salt
- 1 1‚ÅÑ2 cups (190g) ice cubes
Optional Boosters

This delicious digestive is also an arthritis ace. The honeydew’s water-to-potassium ratio and the basil’s vitamin K lowers blood pressure, aid muscle and nerve function, and calm the body. The basil eases cramps and bloating, adds anti-inflammatory power, inhibits bacterial growth, and reduces radiation damage.
