"WASTE NOT, WANT NOT" CANTELOUPE DRINK


ingredients

1 overripe cantaloupe
cold water
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. sugar

preparation

Ever wonder what to do with a cantaloupe that is overripe or not sweet enough? Here's the solution:

Fill blender 3/4 full with bite size pieces of melon (chilled). Add cold water until it almost covers the melon, then put in ice cubes, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 cup sugar and blend until foamy. More sugar may be added, if desired, and diet sweetener can be used as well.

For a creamier, more like a milkshake drink, add milk or half milk and half water in place of just water. De-e-e-licious!
