Variations
: > Replace part or all of the honeydew with another variety of melon. Make sure it's ripe!
> For a breakfast smoothie, add 2 Tablespoons soy protein powder and another ice cube.
> Try different types of green teas: a plain gunpowder , sencha, or fukujyu, or maybe one of the many fruit-flavoured teas that are readily available.
