Fresh Cantaloupe Smoothie Recipe

Like all melons, cantaloupe is a cool refreshing fruit. It’s great in the summer as a snack or the base of a lighter meal. On hot summer days I like my smoothies to be juicy and light. Cantaloupe is the perfect ingredient for a summer smoothie.

Cantaloupe is a good source of potassium; vitamins A, B and C; and magnesium. Like all fruits it is also a great source of fiber.

This smoothie recipe is pretty low in calories. It’s good as either a summer snack or as a healthier alternative to fruit juice.

On hot summer days I drink a lot. When I was younger this would be things like soda or fruit juice. Now that I am older and wiser and know how unhealthy sugary drinks like that can be, I stick to water and smoothies.
