Cantaloupe Smoothie
If on a hurried morning you eat nothing but this smoothie, you will still be doing your body a favor. The drink packs a powerful punch of potassium, calcium, vitamin C and beta carotene.
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
1/4 ripe cantaloupe
1/2 cup nonfat or low-fat yogurt
2 Tbsp. skim-milk powder
1 1/2 Tbsp. orange-juice concentrate
2 tsp. honey
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
To make:
-
Place unpeeled banana in the freezer overnight or for up to 3 months.
-
Remove banana from the freezer and let it sit for 2 minutes, or until the skin begins to soften. With a paring knife, remove the skin. (Don’t worry if a little fiber remains.) Cut the banana into chunks and put in a blender or food processor.
-
Seed the cantaloupe quarter and cut the flesh from the rind. Cut the flesh into chunks and add to the blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
