So I spent the morning juicing watermelon. It was pretty darn good. So healthy tasting.
I had some cantaloupe on hand as well and was tempted to juice it. But had a better idea...
YUM. I couldn't resist posting this recipe. It was so good that I decided to snap a quick photo on my computer {courtesy of photobooth}. My son Roman and I were posing for the camera. It wasn't easy to get a photo. Forgive me, please.
Anyways, the recipe is so easy and simple it's almost not even worth going to the effort to write this post {I should have tweeted it}. But, I don't want to forget about this drink for a warm sunny Summer day!
RECIPE
1 Cantaloupe, ripe organic & in season
6-7 Ice cubes
1 Tbls agave nectar {optional}
I cut open the catalope, removed the seeds and skin and blended it on high for like 20 seconds. Then I put remained of ingredients in a blender and blended until it was smooth {with only a few ice chunks left}!
MY SON got mad at me and threw a tantrum when I told him to try it!!!! I said "just try it once and you'll be done" he tried it and then gulped the rest of it down. It was THAT good.
Enjoy!
ALSO -- below you'll see a recipe for ice cream. Add ice cream to this cantaloupe juice and you'll have the BEST ice cream shake ever!
Remember - try organic & in season when you can!

I just did the same recipe but with watermelon instead today. No need for the juicer when you have a Vitamix! I love it! YUM

Although I forgot to screw the bottom of my blender on, which resulted in a really big mess. This was a really big success with my kiddo's. Thank you so much for the idea. Neither one of them will eat cantaloupe, so this was awesome. I am going to try another one tomorrow and I am going to add a few blueberries to see how that tastes.

@mercedes - I'm so happy about it. Glad you enjoyed the recipe. Watermelon is the best for sure. You gotta try watermelon.
Good luck making more. {p.s. I LOVE your name - Mercedes!}
