I got a beautiful Crenshaw Melon in my CSA delivery and decided to make a smoothie: 

Minty Ginger Melon-ade Recipe:

  • The flesh if one melon 
  • The juice of 1.5 lemons 
  • 1.5 inches of of big ginger finger (about 1.5 T chopped) 
  • 12 mint leaves 


Put everything in a high-speed blender for 30 seconds. Super quick and so yummy! 


And for you mix-masters out there, this raw fruit smoothie would also mix well with all sorts of spirits!

Crenshaws are a variety of Muskmelon made by crossing a Persian melon with a Casaba melon. It's flavor is described as both sweet and spicy.

Crenshaw melons are an excellent source of Vitamins C and A!
