How to Make Date With A Melon Smoothie

  1. Place pitted Medjool dates in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let it sit for 15 minutes to soften the dates.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or longer, for an even richer flavor).
  3. Once chilled, drain the dates, reserving the soaking liquid (optional – can be added for extra sweetness).
  4. Combine the drained dates, cubed melon, milk, yogurt (if using), lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt in a high-speed blender.
  5. Add ice cubes gradually, blending until you achieve your desired consistency. Start with a few ice cubes and add more if necessary.
  6. Pour into two tall glasses and enjoy immediately! Garnish with fresh mint or a melon wedge, if desired.
