The summer is coming, and before we know it, we will be meeting with friends in the garden and having a drink or two. Although this watermelon mint smoothie is none alcoholic, you can add a measure of vodka to add some more fun to the afternoon.

If you are looking for a different breakfast drink (obviously without the alcohol), then this drink makes a lovely change to the norm too. If you don’t want it as thick with the yoghurt you can substitute it with some milk.
