Honey Kiss Melon Smoothie

September 4, 2016 by Ariel Leave a Comment

HoneyKissMelonSmoothie02Came across this Honey Kiss melon at the grocery and the perfect description of the taste peaked my curiosity.  Indeed, the taste is very sweet and “honey like” while staying crisp and juicy through his shelf life.

I wish to find organic (if it’s even possible) Honey Kiss melons in the future but till then, I’ll try to find some organic Chinese Hami melons from which this new hybrid comes from and replace one for one in this recipe.  If you want a more “slush like” drink, remove 1/2 cup of pear juice and fill up with 1 cup of ice.  If you want a little heavier breakfast texture, add an extra 1/3 cup of cooked oats!

Bon appétit!

I went back to the Jean-Talon Farmer’s market a few weeks ago to buy more fresh herbs for my garden and snapped these few images for you…  I was so nicely surprised of the great responses I had my last post about the market that I created a category just for the farmer’s market pics and I’m planning on snapping a few shots of all the markets I’ll have the chance to visit around the globe…  For the moment I’m starting with Montreal but the sky is the limit and I’m excited about this new addition to my blog.

On this I hope you’ll enjoy these images 🙂

A day at the Jean-Talon farmer’s market, in images….

After yesterday’s post, I thought it was only normal to show you a bit more about this amazing farmer’s market in Montreal called the Marché Jean-Talon.  There is quit a few farmer’s markets around the city but it is one is by far my favorite.  I love to just go walk around to look at all the organic fruit stands, the plants and flowers stands and talk to the farmers about their passion and their products.

Everybody is always so nice and so open to discuss cooking and educate you on the different products and recipes you can do with their products.  During the summer, the market is enormous because the whole structure is open and you have sellers on the inside and the outside of the market smiling at you and inviting you to taste their fruits and veggies.

These photos are covering maybe 20-30% of the beauty of the market and I’ll keep taking new photos next time I’m in the area to show you more of it…  For the moment, I hope you enjoy this trip at the Jean-Talon market in Montreal…
