I remember the first time I tried this combination, I was skeptical. Cantaloupe and coconut? Sounded kinda…odd. But a friend, bless her adventurous soul, insisted. And WOW! The sweetness of the cantaloupe perfectly complements the richness of the coconut. It's a symphony of flavors, a dance on your taste buds. Its an experience you dont wanna miss.
This smoothie isn't just delicious; it's also packed with vitamins and nutrients. Cantaloupe is a great source of Vitamin A and C, while coconut provides healthy fats. It's the perfect way to start your day, fuel your workout, or simply treat yourself to something healthy and delicious. I really enjoy this smoothie after my morning work out, it’s so refreshing and really helps the body to re-energize. One time I added yogurt and it made the smoothie taste even better.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Chill the Cantaloupe: Cut the cantaloupe into chunks and place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This will give your smoothie a frosty texture without needing to add ice, which can dilute the flavor. I find that using a ziplock bag is the best way to store the chunks.
- Prep the Coconut: If you're using fresh coconut, crack it open and scoop out the meat. Cut the meat into smaller pieces. If you're using shredded coconut, measure out the amount needed. Personally, I prefer using fresh coconut for its richer taste, but shredded works just fine in a pinch. I like to keep the coconut pieces small so that they will blend easily in the blender.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the chilled cantaloupe chunks, coconut milk, coconut meat or shredded coconut, lime juice, and honey or maple syrup (if using). If you want an extra creamy smoothie, add a scoop of coconut yogurt or regular yogurt.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients on high speed until completely smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of coconut water or regular water to reach your desired consistency. The texture should be similar to a milkshake – thick, creamy, and easy to sip.
- Taste and Adjust: Give the smoothie a taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness as needed. If it's not sweet enough, add more honey or maple syrup. If it needs more zing, add another squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the Cantaloupe Coconut Craze into a glass and garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or a wedge of cantaloupe. Serve immediately and enjoy the taste of summer! I like to use a clear glass so I can see the beautiful color of the smoothie.
- Optional Add-Ins: Feel free to experiment with other ingredients! A little ginger can add a spicy kick, while a handful of spinach or kale will boost the nutrient content. Just remember to adjust the other ingredients to balance the flavors. My friend Jamie suggested adding a little bit of pineapple to it. You can add anything you want its all up to you.
📝 Notes
