Remove the banana from the freezer and let it sit until the skin begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Remove the skin with a paring knife. (Don't worry if a little fiber remains.) Cut the banana into chunks. Add to a blender or food processor along with cantaloupe, yogurt, dry milk, orange juice and vanilla. Blend until smooth.

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! Read More

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. Read More

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. Read More

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! Read More
