This smoothie with a mild flavor of cantaloupe and strawberries makes a good breakfast. So, how healthy is this smoothie? As an orange fruit, cantaloupe is high in beta carotene. [Source: The World’s Healthiest Foods www.whfoods.com] Strawberries are high in antioxidants and there is current research looking into possible anti-inflammatory properties.

Ingredients;
- 2 cups cubed cantaloupe
- Juice of 1 orange plus water to make 1 cup
- 9 fresh or frozen strawberries (if you use frozen you will need less ice. )

Directions:

2. Pulse a few times then blend on high until cantaloupe is liquefied.
3. Add strawberries a few at a time. Continue to blend until strawberries are chopped very finely.

I love the website whf!! Use it all the time. Those glasses look perfect and are they vintage? I think my grandma had some like that!

Thanks for the comment Mollie. I received the glasses new as a gift about 35 years ago. I never thought of them as vintage, but apparently a lot of grandmas have them as I get that comment a lot. 🙂 I like them — they are good sturdy glasses that are also pretty.
