Cucumber Melon Cooler

Cucumber and melon make such a great flavor combination in this refreshing summer drink created by Happy Kids Kitchen for Veggie Buds Club!

​This recipe presents kids with the chance to practice those knife skills and chop up some cucumbers. Since the cucumber is getting blended in the end, you don’t have to worry about what size or shape kids cut the cucumber and melon pieces into. Throw the peeled, chopped cucumber into the blender with some melon, a little lemon juice, and a touch of sweetener (if you’d like) and blend it all up. I used a Honeydew melon to keep the blended juice green, but you can use any ripe, sweet melon for this recipe.

"Learn to Love Veggies" Tip

Kids can experience the taste of cucumber without having to chew it, so this drink is great for little ones that might be apprehensive about the texture of cucumber.
