Melon Strawberry Smoothie that’s healthy and refreshing — and with only 4 ingredients!
Today is the last day of January.
Time flew by pretty fast, huh? The last time I checked it was just after Christmas and I was busy putting away the Christmas decorations. Now, January has to end. That probably means we’re deep into 2016 and there’s no stopping now. I’m seeing Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day peeking just around the corner…
I’m both excited and nervous about what this year will bring.
Today was a busy Sunday for me. I spent the whole morning and half of my afternoon in the kitchen. I cooked Arroz Ala Cubana for lunch. Then I started preparing for Twinkle’s 7th Month celebration which I’m gonna tell you all about in a couple of days — as soon as I get all the photos. I made my Smoky Honey Sriracha Ribs, which is really a hit with the family, and a new pasta recipe I just recently discovered — Chorizo Basil Spaghetti (recipe to be shared, of course!).
This morning was off to a great start because of this smoothie. I put some cantaloupe melon and strawberries in the freezer during the weekday. I figured it’s nice to have a smoothie for a quick breakfast over the weekend. Today is just the perfect day because it’s busy busy buuuusy! I just threw in some frozen melon, strawberries, greek yogurt, and nonfat milk in the blender and drank away.
Such a craazy, busy week. But.
What I love about this week is that YKAIE NOW LOVES APPLE SLICES DIPPED IN GREEK YOGURT. I’m so happy!.. And she loves Zumba. And I think I do too.
- 1 cup frozen cantaloupe melon
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup nonfat milk
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- Put everything in your blender and pulse until smooth and creamy.
- You may add extra ingredients like honey to suit your taste.
- Garnish with some melon slices and strawberry slices before serving.
- Enjoy!

I love smoothies, and I have to say that this combination sounds amazing. I tend to not make smoothies once it starts getting cooler.
Thanks!
I don’t like melon, but these looks delicious! I love the photos ๐
Thanks Christine!
UM… YUM!!!! Oh my gosh I want to make this now! Is only 7 o’clock in the morning but I think would be a good breakfast meal LOL.
I think it is too!
Now, this melon strawberry smoothie looks very good. LOL I think I like it because it is of a purple color even though it is made with strawberries.
Thanks! I think the color looks nice too!
We always have fresh cantaloupe around when it’s in season. I have never thought of adding it to a smoothie before but acts a great idea.
Oh you should. It’s really good!
This looks really good, I need to get into smoothies. I’ve fallen off my fitness routine and I need to eat better. I hear smoothies are great for healthy eating and give you a nice boost in the morning.
Thanks Mimi! I’m sure you’ll love it.
This smoothie sounds delicious I love using melon in my smoothies because of the flavor profile it adds. I also will freeze it so I can just throw it in.
Thanks Gwendolyn!

Yes, melon is sweet and has a really nice flavor.
