Creamy Cantaloupe Smoothie

Hello there, juicy sweet cantaloupe!   Meet my current smoothie crush:  Creamy Cantaloupe Smoothie.

When the weather is cold, I love to spend time in the kitchen baking and creating.  But as soon as the weather turns hot, I just want to be outside, and I turn into a lazy cook.

My go-to meal on hot summer days is a salad that can be thrown together quickly from all the amazing produce get here in Northern California.  I just add a bit of leftover protein on top from last night’s dinner. Done!

We also snack on lots of raw veggies and fruits.  I like to keep it super simple.  I’d rather be out playing in the sun.

Smoothies have been my go-to snack this week. Too hot ( lazy) to make anything else.  I keep a mason jar of homemade coconut milk in the fridge just for smoothies.  I make a new batch about every 4-5 days.

This is what happens when I get a sweet, juicy cantaloupe from the farmer’s market:

If you have never had cantaloupe and coconut milk in a smoothie, you are really missing out.  It’s cold, refreshing, and healthy.  And is just the thing on a hot summer day, preferably by the pool.  It’s simple.  Only 4 ingredients. And if you have some cool popsicle molds, this smoothie makes amazing popsicles too.

Sometimes I do like to add a few extras to my smoothies for a little nutrient-dense boost.  Here’s a few of my favorite add-ons:

• Gelatin- so many awesome healing properties  and one tablespoon has 7 grams of protein. I use the grass fed collagen peptide from Vital Proteins because it dissolves easily in cold liquid and does not gel.
• Hemp seeds – two tablespoons has 7 grams of protein.
• Coconut oil – one tablespoon add healthy fats that your body craves and keeps you satiated longer.
• Ginger – adding a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger add zest and flavor and does wonders for your digestion.
• Turmeric – fresh or dried turmeric is an great anti-inflammatory.
