- 2 cups milk (whole, almond, or your favorite variety)
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/3 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional, for extra chill and texture)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cantaloupe:
Peel, seed, and chop the cantaloupe into smaller pieces, discarding the skin and seeds. - Blend the Milkshake:
In a blender, combine the chopped cantaloupe, milk, cold water, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. - Adjust Sweetness:
Taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar, if necessary. Blend again if additional sugar is added. - Add Ice (Optional):
If you prefer a colder and thicker texture, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and blend until fully combined. - Serve:
Pour the cantaloupe milkshake into glasses. Serve immediately, garnished with a slice of cantaloupe or mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the sugar with honey, agave nectar, or a sugar substitute if you prefer a healthier alternative.
- For a dairy-free version, simply use almond milk or another plant-based milk and adjust the sweetness accordingly.
