Vanilla Melon Melody Smoothie

Smoothies are a great way to include fruits in your diet! As you may know, I usually recommend adding vegetables to your smoothies to balance out the sweetness of the fruit, and increase your veggie intake. However this smoothie is sweet & simple, using only bananas and cantaloupe. 

This time of year, we have greater access to so much fresh fruit, and I feel that it's important to enjoy what's only available locally for such a short period!

If you really want to focus on more local produce, you could swap the banana for berries or peaches, however the taste and texture will be much different.

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened milk of choice (dairy, almond, coconut)
1/2 banana (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup cantaloupe (chopped)
1 scoop (1/4 cup) protein powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 ice cubes

Blend to desired consistency & Enjoy!
