Quick Tips

Chill your ingredients: Start with chilled cantaloupe and juice to keep your smoothie icy-cold without needing too much ice, which can water down the flavor.

Adjust the consistency: Want it thicker? Add more ice cream. Prefer it lighter? A splash of water or almond milk does the trick.

Fun Variations

Coconut Lover's Twist: Add a splash of coconut milk or sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top.

Protein Power: Toss in a scoop of vanilla protein powder to turn this into a post-workout recovery drink.

Spice It Up: A pinch of ground ginger or turmeric gives a subtle kick and extra health benefits.

Berry Blend: Add a handful of frozen strawberries or raspberries for a fruity spin.

Dessert Drink: Swap orange juice concentrate for a tablespoon of maple syrup and add a drizzle of caramel or honey on top.
