Weird but good green smoothie

Pretty easy and good way of incorporating atypical organic ingredients.

We have a subscription for a weekly box of organic produce (mostly vegetables) from an organic farm about 2 hours away from our city.  This week we received a small yellow fleshed watermelon.  I sliced it up, but the flesh was a little bland and Clement put off by the yellow and the many seeds. 

So I put the
seedy watermelon flesh,
green rind,
golden silk tassels from corn (also from the farm),
2 heaping tablespoons of honey,
covered with water
in the Vitamix blender  and whirred away until everything was pulverized, 
I stopped once to push the tassels lower. 

The result was a light green frothy, foamy, pleasantly sweet concoction.





The ground seeds settled at the bottom and in the end I just decided to toss them, I suppose I could have saved to use in cookies instead of nuts.
