- The team here, these two,
0:04
decided I should make something that's good for us
0:09
So I said, okay, that's what I'm doing
0:14
and I'm chopping up some fresh mint
0:18
because I'm gonna make a smoothie
0:20
and it all sounds like it's gonna be so good
0:23
and so refreshing all joking aside.
0:26
So I'm just gonna mince,
0:42
And it calls for one tablespoon of chopped fresh mint.
0:49
I don't know if y'all have ever tried to grow mint
0:51
in your yard but it grows so good
0:54
and it will take over a garden.
0:57
At Riverbend, do you remember how far that goes?
1:01
- [Eddie] Yes, it took up the whole planting bed.
1:03
- Yeah, it took up the whole bed.
1:05
- [Theresa] It's so beautiful though.
1:05
- It is so beautiful and it smells so good.
1:08
You can walk by, it's like rosemary.
1:10
You walk by and hit it and oh my gosh.
1:13
The fragrance is insane.
1:21
That looks like a gracious tablespoon right there.
1:28
So we've got three cups of honeydew
1:32
that's been peeled and cut up.
1:35
I guess I can do this in any order, can't I, Theresa?
1:38
- [Theresa] Yes, ma'am.
1:40
- All right, it calls for two cups of ice.
1:43
- [Theresa] They do say that last.
1:44
- They do, okay, well, I'll do that last then.
1:48
I guess so it won't water it down too badly.
1:52
All right, I've got a tablespoon of lime juice.
1:58
Let's see, what did I add?
1:59
I added one cup of an unpeeled English cucumber.
2:08
All right, two tablespoons of honey.
2:14
And I'm gonna get my little scooper out
2:18
'cause that's like all the sweet we got
2:20
and I wanna get every drop of it.
2:24
- [Theresa] The honeydew should be pretty sweet,
2:27
- [Paula] No, sometimes, you know-
2:28
- [Theresa] Eddie said "yeah" and you're going "no."
2:30
- You know what, I did buy cantaloupe.
2:34
It was so sweet and so delicious.
2:36
It's still a little early
2:38
for melons to really be kinda sweet.
2:44
All right, let's see.
2:46
- [Theresa] When does the mint go in?
2:49
Let's see, it says "combine melon, cucumber,
2:52
honey, mint and lime juice.
2:54
Process until well blended."
2:56
But then you garnish it with more fresh mint
2:58
and a cucumber slice so.
3:02
All right, I'm gonna juice this up a little bit.
3:06
I'm gonna go ahead and add about a cup of ice.
3:15
Now, I'm gonna add our mint.
3:28
I think I would like a little bit more ice.
3:34
Just a little bit more ice.
3:35
I kinda like mine thicker, you know?
3:40
Nice and cold and thick.
3:50
All right, who would like a honeydew cucumber,
3:54
cucumber mint smoothie?
4:03
It's the color of our front door, isn't it?
4:08
- [Theresa] Now we know how to get it out of food.
4:11
All right, I'm gonna put a little mint on top
4:14
and I'm gonna pretend like I got a cucumber slice
4:19
and I'm gonna get me a straw.
4:23
- [Theresa] Get you a straw?
4:24
- Please, I can't believe there's no straws over there
4:28
Yes, that is the color of our front door.
4:31
Come here and I'll show you.
4:33
- [Theresa] Here you go, it's a thick one.
4:35
- [Theresa] It's kind of a big one.
4:36
- Ooh, that is a big one.
4:41
It's a heck of a straw.
4:44
It could break one of my toothies out.
4:55
- [Eddie] Sure is. - It is, isn't it?
5:07
Lulu, come on back in, pretty little girl.
5:21
It's real refreshing.
5:24
But I would probably put an artificial sweetener in mine
5:29
because I just, my tongue likes things kinda sweet
5:33
and if they're not naturally sweet,
5:35
I'll stick in a little artificial sugar.
5:41
But it really is good.
5:43
And you can just imagine in the morning
5:45
getting up and going for a brisk walk
5:48
and then coming back in
5:49
and throwing you a smoothie together.
6:00
maybe I'll come back with a cake or something.
6:03
