Extra, extra
You need a large blender to make this smoothie. If yours is smaller, blitz together the avocado, dates, melon and water, then pour half into a jug. Add the spinach to the remaining mix in the blender, blitz till combined and then stir into the melon smoothie in the jug.
Tip
The big freeze
You can freeze the remaining melon, ready to add to smoothies. Simply scoop out the seeds, slice off the skin and chop the melon. Spread out on a baking tray and freeze till solid, then store in a freezerproof box.
