Honeydew, cantaloupe, musk melon or watermelon will work well. Find the freshest melon by smelling the stem end. The melon (with the exception of a watermelon) should smell sweet and fresh. It will smell how it tastes. This recipe is for patients in a Transitional Weight Loss Program (Nutriplus, Balance Your Pyramid) or on a Maintenance Program. This IS NOT a recipe for patients still losing weight. If you have a question about what you may or may not eat on your personalized program, call your Metabolic office.
