Melon Smoothies and Pitta Dosha
Chopped honeydew is the star ingredient in this easy cucumber-melon smoothie recipe. Like most melons, honeydew is sweet, cooling, and hydrating, which makes it very balancing for fiery Pitta dosha. (Learn more about Pitta dosha.) We’ve added cucumber and mint as well for their cooling, Pitta-balancing properties.
