This is such a refreshing drink on a warm (albeit unusual) November day. I had froze some cantaloupe this summer to keep on hand for smoothies as I love em. I cut the recipe down a touch as I was just serving myself. I used plain yogurt and then added one packet of splenda for sweetness. Of course I still kept with the addition of honey. :-) Made for Sweet Traditions Tag.

I love melon and oranges, but had never had them together, so wasn't sure what to expect or if I would like it. I sure did!!! I made it for 1/2 of the recipe for one and left out the honey, as my melon was super sweet, plus I find the honey doesn't mix in well with cold liquids. After tasting the smoothie I added several ice cubes and then stirred it around. Despite using cold melon, yogurt and OJ, it wasn't chilled enough for me after blending, but that was a perfect fix. Thanks for sharing the recipe, made for Almost 5 Tag Game.

Yummy morning drink! I used Greek yogurt with peaches and some cantaloupe I had frozen last summer. Thanks! Made for Everyday is a Holiday game.

Wow! We love cantelope but sometimes it can get boring, or they are too firm and not great to eat. This recipe cures all that. The flavor of cantelope and OJ go wonderfully, and no more underripe fresh fruit. Thanks for a keeper recipe. :)
