Growing up my mom routinely served cantaloupe and tomato slices with breakfast.  So I grew up loving cantaloupe, and then I became obsessed with it once I started making this refreshing cantaloupe slushie recipe.

Cantaloupe Slushie Recipe

This refreshing cantaloupe slushie makes a great addition to any breakfast or brunch table.   

• Cantaloupe. We use frozen cantaloupe for this recipe.

How To Make Cantaloup Slush

1. Prepare Ingredients. Peel and chop the cantaloupe. Place in the freezer until you’re ready to blend.
2. Blend Ingredients. Toss all of the ingredients in your NutriBullet, food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add a little more coconut water if it’s too thick.
3. Garnish. Top with fruits, nuts and seeds if you like.
4. Enjoy. Serve with a spoon (it’s on the thicker side so a straw doesn’t work very well).

How Long Will It Last?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, or pour into an ice cube tray and freeze. Transfer the frozen cubes to an airtight container or freezer bag (marking the date on the bag) and freeze for up to 6 months. Add the frozen cubes to smoothies.

How To Freeze Cantaloupe 

• Peel Cantaloupe. Slice cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds. The slice into 1-2 inch strips and peel.
• Slice bananas.  Slice into in 1/2 – 1-1/2 inch pieces (they don’t have to be perfectly sized).
• Freeze.  Lay the cantaloupe pieces in a single layer on a cookie sheet (you can lay down a piece of parchment paper first if you want). Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes lift the cantaloupe pieces up from the baking sheet with a spatula so they won’t stick during the remaining freeze time. Then pop them back in the freezer to freeze for about 2 hours.
• Transfer to freezer bags.  Use a spatula to loosen the frozen cantaloupe pieces from the cookie sheet and transfer them to a plastic freezer bag.
• Store in freezer. Store in an air-tight container or bag in the freezer for up to 6 months.

How to Pick a Cantaloupe

The best way to choose a cantaloupe is by smelling it.  It should smell sweet. And the stem end should slightly yield when pressed with your thumb. If the cantaloup isn’t quite ripe, let it sit at room temperature for up to 2 days to ripen.  Whole ripe uncut melon will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, and cut melon will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

A few reasons you might want to incorporate more cantaloupe into your diet is because it’s loaded with vitamins and it’s incredibly hydrating to the skin.  This Cantaloupe Lime Slush is an easy way to sneak more of this nourishing melon into your diet.
