Muskmelon Smoothie – Cantaloupe Smoothie
June 9, 2015
Drinks, Summer Special 
-
Muskmelon or canataloupe or khirni pazham (in tamil) is a refreshing fruit, perfectly hydrating for the summer. I can have this as is, but Chotu is such a fussy eater especially when it comes to fruits. This Muskmelon Smoothie is yet another successful attempt
I still remember those young days, when we used to dry the seeds in the sun and eat it. Due to less sunlight here, I just discarded them
So here u go with a simple and truly exhilarating drink, and if u are a fussy person like Chotu this is for you
Now to the recipe…
[Preparation Time-10 mins : Cooking Time- NIL]
Ingredients:
- Muskmelon/Cantaloupe – 1
- Orange juice – 1/2 cup (4 to 5 oranges)
- Sugar – 2 tbsp (optional)
Method:
- Halve the cantaloupe and deseed it. U can either dry it in the sun and have it or discard the seeds. Peel the skin and chop the fruit into cubes.
- Squeeze 4 to 5 oranges and keep the juice ready. Take the cantaloupe pieces and sugar(if using) in a mixer and blend it until smooth. Add the orange juice and just whip in once or twice.
Thats it!! Refreshing Muskmelon Smoothie is ready.
Serve chilled.
Tips:
- The muskmelon’s skin will be quite hard to peel. U can scoop out the flesh with a spoon too.
- U can use honey instead of sugar or skip it totally depending upon the sweetness of the muskmelon.
- The Muskmelon Smoothie tastes best when consumed immediately.
- U can use lemon juice instead of orange juice too. May be just 1/2 a lemon.
