Musk Melon Soya Smoothie - A refreshing shake!

I love fruits - just like that, in fruit salads, in shakes, juices...any way....if made in a healthy manner! I love to experiment with various ingredients and that is how I hit upon this really tasty, filling and nutritious smoothie - Musk Melon Soya Smoothie.

Musk Melon has a host of nutrition in the form of Vitamins - A, B and C, minerals like potassium, sodium and magnesium and is a great anti - oxidant!  And Soya Milk is wonderful in terms of having plant based proteins, isoflavones, vitamins and minerals and minimal amount of saturated fat! So I am glad that what I love is also healthy for my body!!!

Musk Melon is in season now and you get the juiciest, sweetest ones. No wonder they are also known as Honey Melons! These round shaped melons are easily available since past 10 years. I recall as a child to have eaten Kharbuj, which used to be an elongated oval shaped melon...mildly sweet. Amma used to cut these to cubes add a dash of sugar and then refrigerate...and these used to be the instant custard type sweet after dinner! These are a rarity to find now a days! No worries as the round ones available, this variety is innately sweet and so no SUGAR to be added! Yay!!

This smoothie is very easy to make! When Amma Appa are visiting my sister at Bengaluru, that's when I experiment and make such fusion out of my confusion to cook for just me!!! But thanks to Goddess Annapoorneshwari and  observing Amma, so far never has any experiment backfired!

This smoothie Appa loves. Amma is not much keen on Soya Milk! So I make for her with normal low fat milk...so you guessed it right...this can also be made with Milk!
