Let’s make two of my favourite melon based juices. Refreshing, invigorating and packed with vitamins.

Cantaloupe melon contains a mere 25 calories per ¼ melon. unlike other melon varieties, it's packed with beta-carotene and vitamin C, powerful antioxidants that can protect against heart disease and cancer.

4 – 5 ice cubes¼ cantaloupe melon120 ml (4 fl oz) orange juice1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice

Place the ice cubes in a smoothie maker, blender or food processor and process until slushy. Add the melon, orange juice and lemon and process until smooth. Serve immediately.
