Dairy-Free Strawberry Cantaloupe Smoothie {paleo}

Luscious, thick and creamy.  Dairy-free and Paleo.  This dairy-free Strawberry Cantaloupe Smoothie is out of this world sweet without the added sugar!  Cantaloupe makes a wonderful creamy base while tasting super sweet.  Mixed with tangy strawberries and plant-based milk makes this smoothie uber dreamy.

It’s easy to overlook the beautiful cantaloupe and disregard her as a viable smoothie base option.

I forgive you.  It’s okay.

Totally normal.

She’s often overlooked.

When you are gluten-free and have food sensitivities on top of it, and cannot have banana or pineapple or a ton of sugar you dream up creative and innovative ways to make it work.

Enter Cantaloupe.

Ripe, super ripe cantaloupe and NOT unripe cantaloupe which is what is usually served.

If you make sure it’s super ripe you’ll be surprised just how sweet the cantaloupe actually is while providing a super creamy base.

It has become one of my favorite fruits to use in a smoothie.  A secret gem I am now sharing.

A secret gem I’ve been waiting to share for the longest time!  A Summer breakfast favorite according to my family, so you know it’s legit.

Did you know that Cantaloupe contains Potassium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C?  Plus a healthy glow!

This smoothie also uses collagen which I love because of the benefits!! So healing for your hair, skin, and nails.  Collagen adds back your face plump back, reduces scarring, adds that glow and helps you heal and grow.

Plus it adds creamy factor!  And that is everything when it comes to a green smoothie.

And it’s tasteless, so you won’t taste it in your smoothie.  Another win!

Do you use collagen?

Vital Proteins collagen is my favorite brand to use for collagen and always the unflavored.  It’s gluten-free and safe for people with Celiac Disease.  But make sure you are getting the unsweetened one.

Don’t want to share this smoothie?  No worries!  I usually have both for breakfast!

Ready to make beautiful music together?

Equipment

• high-speed blender

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cup cantaloupe ripe, packed
• 2 tbsp avocado ripe, heaping
• 4-5 strawberries frozen
• 2 tbsp sunflower seed butter unsweetened, heaping
• 1 scoop collagen unflavored, Vital Proteins
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 handful spinach optional boost, small handful or medium-sized

Instructions

• Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender
• Blast on high till well blended and smooth
• Add ice and blend again
• Serve with a straw. If it's too warm, pour the smoothie over ice. Add it to the freezer for 15 minutes and serve.

Notes

If you do not have a high-speed blender first add the water and spinach.  Then add the rest of the ingredients in increments // I love Vital Proteins for my source of Collagen // If you add the spinach boost know that your smoothie will turn green or vomit color.  Regardless it's AMAZING either way!  You'll taste nothing but cantaloupe / ALSO if you want to make this smoothie extra thick use coconut culinary milk low fat or full fat.
