Refreshingly divine smoothie!
So good! I totally agree with the other reviewers: this smoothie is perfectly sweet without sugar or honey. I also omitted the dry milk powder. And used orange juice instead of orange juice concentrate. The vanilla makes it taste divine. My very picky 16 y.o. daughter wanted a 2nd glass! This is definitely a keeper!

A bit too sweet
At home we always make smoothies without adding any sugar or honey and they turn out great. Good recipe, but may not need to honey.
Pros: Love the combination of the banana and cantaloupe
Cons: May not need to add the honey, I added milk to help the blending process.

It was just OK. Nothing about it was good , it was very bland. I would not use this recipe again.

you don't need to add the honey or juice because the cantaloupe and banana are sweet enough and add plenty of sugar. Try ice cubes, half a cantaloupe, half a banana and any kind of milk (i use unsweetened almond milk). It's delicious- tastes like summer in a cup! And no added sugar so it's very nutritious.

I tried this with half a cantaloupe that was getting a bit mushy. I added 3 bananas (without freezing them) and then put in soy milk and added some leftover white grape juice instead of the orange juice. It turned out wonderful and delicious. I don't think you can go wrong with this one!

This is a great way to use up a mushy cantolope! I use a lot less honey, replace the milk powder w/ protien powder and add some flax meal.Great meal replacement.
