What you will need:      

Half a honeydew
1 cup plain yoghurt
3/4 cup of fresh milk
1 cup of crushed ice

4. Pour mixture in glass and serve with crushed ice







Benefits:
Honeydew is rich in Vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C helps strengthen our immune system, while potassium is necessary for good nerve and muscle function. The high water content in honeydew also helps balance sodium content in our body by rehydrating us and promoting diuresis.

As for yoghurt, it is a good source of calcium and vitamin D, which are both necessary for maintaining healthy bones. Protein found in yoghurt is also good for muscle repair and growth. Most importantly, yogurt contains beneficial bacteria called probiotics that can help with our digestion!

Milk is also a good source of calcium that gives us strong bones and teeth.

Thus the combination of these two elements not only taste great together, but is also extremely healthy to consume due to the benefits of yoghurt and honeydew combined.

Tips:
Choose honeydews that have a strong fruity fragrance as an indication of ripe flesh.

As honeydew flesh is soft and can be easily bruised, a good way to cut the fruit would be to cut it gently with a knife diagonally from top to bottom.

As the mixture can be rather thick due to the yoghurt, it will taste better with more ice added to the mixture.


Enjoy!
