When visiting Costa Rica, one of my favorite lunchtimes treats are batidos, essentially fruit smoothies either blended with milk or with water. Most casual restaurants will have a variety of about 5 or more batidos, made to order. They are usually about a quarter of the price of a "Jamba" here in the U.S.- and much, much better!
Here is my recipe for a Honeydew Batido, inspired by the delicious ones I have had in Costa Rica:
Fill a blender about 3/4 full with chunks of ripe organic honeydew melon. Add about 8 ice cubes, a heaping tablespoon of local honey, and about 1/2 cup of organic plain yogurt. Blend and serve!
