Chef tips
Use very cold melon for a thicker texture without needing too much ice. If you prefer a smoother finish, strain the smoothie before serving.
Substitutions
You can replace the cottage cheese with Greek yogurt for a looser texture. Honey can be swapped for maple syrup, and milk for plant-based milk if you want a dairy-free version, adjusting allergens and dietary tags accordingly.
