frothy melon cucumber

 Today's smoothie:
1.5 stalks celery
1 banana, frozen
1 cucumber
1 c honeydew melon
1 date
1/2 lemon
few cashews, not pictured
1 tsp chia seeds, not pictured

made about 40 oz


Outcome:  interesting
First of all, my iphone is not taking adequate pictures.  The color of the smoothie was a lovely pale mint green. I can't say that I thoroughly enjoyed this, but it was definitely interesting and refreshing in an odd melon, celery, cumber-y kind of way.  The texture on the other hand was excellent - smooth and frothy.  May be the doing of the cashews and chia.  Requires further investigations.
