Citrus Treat

14 May

Yesterday I was playing tennis…it was sunny, breezy and it felt like spring.  Two days ago I was melting in the heat that felt more like July.  Today…well, it’s down right cold.  The wind has taken over and the sky is grey.

Nothing changes the mood of the day like a tasty smoothie!  Bring out your Vitamix and join me as I sip and pretend that today is 20 degrees warmer!  Gotta love mother nature…

Citrus Treat

2        Oranges

1          Lime

1/2     Cup Cantaloupe

Cut away the skin of the orange and lime, leaving as much pith as possible.  Remember the pith has just as much vitamin C and contains pectin.

Place the citrus fruit along with the flesh of one wedge of cantaloupe, about 1/2 cup,  into your Vitamix.  Blend until slightly chunky.  At this point you can add your ice.  Finish blending until smooth.

Makes enough to share!  About 2 1/2 cups…
