Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe cantaloupe (muskmelon) ((about 6 cups cantaloupe cut into cubes))
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or as needed)

Method

  1. Cut the cantaloupe into two halves. Remove the skin and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Then dice into big chunks.
  2. In a high speed blender, add the diced cantaloupe, maple syrup and water. Blend until smooth.
  3. Strain the pulp using a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. This step is optional (I personally don't strain the pulp as it is full of fiber and nutrients.)
  4. Pour the juice into the serving glasses and garnish with fresh mint. Enjoy!
