The month of August the recipe swap group I was allocated a blog called namscorner, written by Narmadha. She is a software developer and cooking is her passion, especially baking .Looking through the blog there were many sweet treat recipes. I loved them all but since last months challenge I make cookies, I decided to choose a healthy option.
We are trying to eat healthy and also trying not to buy shop bought juices so when I saw the musk melon juice I decided to recreate it. Musk melon or cantaloupe melons are available plentiful at the moment and are really sweet. The recipe although uses just a couple of ingredients, it's really healthy and very delicious. Perfect thirst quencher for breakfast to a accompany a hearty breakfast of eggs ,waffles made with Belgian waffle mix, toast and baked beans.

Musk Melon -Cantaloupe Melon Juice
Refreshing melon juice with a natural sweetness.
prep time: 3 Mcook time: 2 Mtotal time: 5 M
Ingredients:
- 1/2 musk melon
- 100 ml coconut water
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional) I did not add it as melon was sweet.
Instructions:
- Cut the melon in half and remove the seeds and skin
- Chop the melon into small pieces and add it to the optimum 9400 blender with the coconut water and sugar.
- Blend the melon to a smooth puree and add coconut water to get the desired consistency.
- Serve chilled.
NOTES:
I used coconut water but you can use plain water in the recipe.
You can use any blender to make your melon juice, however I highly recommend the optimum 9400 blender as it so powerful that it will give you a really smooth texture in seconds. It is also able to crush ice if you wish to add that to the juice. Do check out the Froothie Website as they currently have many of the blenders on sale with up to 50% off and free delivery.
