Method

  1. 01

    Cut a ripe cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds.

    Use a large spoon or melon baller to scoop the orange flesh away from the rind.

  3. 03

    Place the melon flesh in a blender or food processor.

  4. 04

    Blend until completely smooth — cantaloupe blends easily without any cooking needed.
