5 Simple Ingredients
Cantaloupe – Fresh ripe cantaloupe or frozen cantaloupe cubes work great in this recipe!
Frozen Banana – Frozen banana slices are best to make the smoothie cold, thick, and icy. Slice up a banana and freeze it the night before or buy frozen bananas at the store!
Milk – I used regular milk, but any type of milk should work! Cashew milk, almond milk, oat milk, soy or coconut milk are all delicious in this recipe. Don’t have milk on hand? Orange juice tastes amazing, too!
Yogurt – Plain greek yogurt or whole milk yogurt are perfect for this recipe. You can also use a sweetened or flavored yogurt, but beware of aritifial sweeteners in yogurts that can add an aftertaste to your smoothie!
Ice Cubes – Add ice cubes to your heart’s desire for an extra-cold, thick smoothie!
TIP: Easily make this smoothie recipe dairy-free & vegan by using plant-based milk and yogurt options!
