3 cups watermelon, cut into 1/2-inch dice and seeded
3 cups honeydew melon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 medium cantaloupe, very ripe, seeded and cut into large chunks
1 pint vanilla or lemon nondairy ice cream
2 cups orange juice, preferably fresh
Blueberries for garnish
Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1
