Creamy Cantaloupe Smoothie
Servings: 1
Frozen cantaloupe and half a banana make this cantaloupe smoothie sweet, while raw cashews and a quarter cup of frozen cauliflower turn it thick and creamy. You won't taste the cauliflower, promise. Ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cantaloupe frozen
- 1 cup cashew milk
- ½ banana
- ¼ cup cauliflower frozen
- 2 tablespoon raw cashews
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Pour the cashew milk into a blender. Add the cantaloupe, banana, cauliflower, cashews and protein powder, if using.
- Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds, adding a splash more liquid if it's too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ripeness Tip: A ripe cantaloupe smells sweet and musky at the stem end; cube and freeze it at its peak. Here's how to cut a cantaloupe, and use a whole banana if your melon is bland.
- Cashew Tip: Without a high-speed blender, soak the cashews in hot water for at least 20 minutes so they blend smooth.
- Cauliflower Tip: You won't taste the cauliflower, which adds body and creaminess. If you're unsure, start with 2 tablespoons and work up.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.
