I love using fresh fruit and I’m always trying to think of ways to incorporate fruit into our diet. I recently tried incorporating cantaloupe into our diet and I came up with this fruit drink.  My Refreshing Cantaloupe Slush is packed full of fruit.
Cantaloupe Slush
I love serving this drink to my kids because I know they are getting a nutritious drink. I try to make large batches of this, which keeps the family away from those non-healthy type of drinks.
 
If you make this drink in the evening and let it chill it is perfect with breakfast the next morning. It is a welcome change over milk or other fruit juices. It has a unique tropical flavor that makes you want to come back for more. When I can’t find cantaloupe on sale or when it isn’t in season, I go to my trusty Banana Coconut Smoothie recipe. This is another fresh and tropical drink, that I can’t get enough of.

    This sounds so good. It seems like I always have cantaloupe that goes bad before I can use it all. I’ll have to try this as a way to not let anymore go to waste! Thanks for sharing 🙂 Visiting from Pin It Tuesday

      I know! Welcome to the club on that one 😉 Do you prefer secretary or treasurer? LOL! I LOVE cantaloupe as well, but it can go bad so quickly if I am not careful.
