Cantaloupe Smoothie

Jake scooped out a cantaloupe, but it wasn't quite right for snacking. He thought it would go great in a smoothie. If you enjoy melons, like Jake does, you'll appreciate this smoothie that I found at The Curious Country Cook. Jake and the boys thoroughly pleased with how this turned out.


Cantaloupe Smoothie
3/4 cup orange juice
1 cup peeled, seeded, chopped cantaloupe
1 tablespoon sweetener
1/2 banana
4-6 frozen strawberries
1/2 cup ice

Doubling the recipe made four 8 ounce servings.
