SERVES:
1

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 heaping cup cubed frozen cantaloupe

  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

  • 1 6-ounce tub vanilla yogurt

  • 1/4 cup orange juice

PROCEDURE:

Cut the cantaloupe in half through the stem end and scoop out the seeds.

Cut one half lengthwise into 6 long slices, cut those crosswise into 1-inch sections without going through the skin and then carefully use your knife to separate the flesh from the skin.

Put the cubed cantaloupe into a Ziploc bag and throw it into the freezer and also rinse and pick through the blueberries and freeze those in a Ziploc bag as well.

To make one large smoothie (after the fruits have frozen) add 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1 cup of frozen cantaloupe, 1 6-ounce tub of vanilla yogurt and 1/4 cup orange juice and puree everything until it is nice and smooth.

Serve it up right away in a tall glass with a straw!

HINTS:

Putting the blueberries and maybe the yogurt too, into the blender first will make it easier to blend. Freeze a bunch of fruit ahead of time so it's ready to go when you are.
