This is an utterly refreshing smoothie, perfect for a light summer breakfast. The blended ripe melon is so creamy and sweet, and the mint adds a refreshing taste, while the lemon adds a tang. As always, don't eat anything within two hours before and after the smoothie. If you must, have a piece or two of fruit.
I topped this smoothie with 1 tbsp. of hemp seeds because they're delicious, and I thought it would be good to add some protein and a bit of fat to make it a more substantial meal. I used hemp seeds only for topping the smoothie because I'm watching my fat intake after a severe gall bladder attack and two days in the hospital. You can blend in a tbsp. and top with an additional tbsp. and it's really delicious!
