Summer buttermilk smoothie

Serve with a stack of buttermilk hotcakes for a truly impressive breakfast.

Ingredients:

2 peaches

1/3 small rockmelon (cantaloupe), peeled, seeded and chopped

150 g (5 ½ oz) strawberries, hulled

4 mint leaves

125 ml (½ cup) buttermilk

125 ml (½ cup) orange juice

1-2 tablespoons honey

Method:

Cut a cross in the base of the peaches. Put them in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 1-2 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and plunge into cold water. Remove the skin and stones, and slice the flesh. Blend the peaches, rockmelon, strawberries and mint in a blender until smooth. Add the buttermilk, orange juice and 1 tablespoon of the honey and blend to combine. Taste for sweetness and add more honey if needed. Make 2 medium glasses.
