This delicious smoothie recipe goes together quickly, but does require a bit of foresight as it includes brewed green tea. Tea can be brewed and kept in a tightly-closed jar in the refrigerator for up to a week. We think the combination of cucumber and melon gives this energy-boosting smoothie a light, refreshing flavor. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

2 cups of cubed honey dew melon
