Single Serving Peach Cantaloupe Smoothie

If I had to rank my top four favorite fruits, it would probably go in this order: Strawberries, Cantaloupe, Raspberries, and fresh peaches. Considering it's winter and most of these fruits are highly priced, I've had to turn to frozen fruits for smoothies these days. I've been lucky to find cantaloupe on sale lately & have been stocking up on it whenever I can. I had never really thought cantaloupe would be good in smoothies, but when I threw it into my smoothie last week, I was pleasantly surprised. It incorporates two of my favorite fruits, so in my opinion, there's not much room for error.

The trick to a tasty cantaloupe smoothie is to make sure the cantaloupe is ripe, juicy, and ready to eat. The cantaloupe I've gotten lately has been surprisingly sweet, which is sometimes hard to come by in the winter time. I'm hoping this is a sign that summer is not too far away. But then again, it's snowing outside as I'm typing this.

Add a few frozen peaches, orange juice, yogurt, honey, and ice to the cantaloupe and you have yourself a tasty (and healthy!) summertime smoothie. I also like adding vanilla protein powder to turn it into a protein-packed peachy orange creamsicle type smoothie. The best thing about smoothies is that you can literally add whatever you want to it and they (usually) taste good. I say usually, because I've had my fill of smoothie fails.
