Description
A delicious smoothie, with fresh cantaloupe melon, strawberries, and creamy yogurt. Refreshing and packed with vitamins for a healthy glow!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh ripe cantaloupe, diced
- 1/2 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup orange juice OR 1/2 small peeled orange
- 2 ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the diced cantaloupe, strawberries (fresh or frozen), Greek yogurt, orange juice (or peeled orange segment), and ice cubes into a blender.
- Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more orange juice or water. If too thin, add a few more ice cubes or frozen strawberries.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Fruit: Use ripe cantaloupe for the best flavor. Using frozen strawberries will result in a thicker, colder smoothie.
- Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess. Use plain or vanilla based on your sweetness preference. Regular yogurt can be substituted but will be thinner.
- Liquid: Orange juice adds flavor and sweetness. Using half a peeled orange provides more fiber. Water or another milk can be substituted.
- Variations: Add a handful of spinach (you won’t taste it!), a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra nutrients.
- Storage: Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending for optimal freshness and nutrient content.
