I didn’t realize it until now, but I tend to add mango to smoothies often because frozen mango is available and delicious. This cantaloupe fruit smoothie with mango may just be my favorite yet.

The sweetpotato smoothie and orange and mango smoothie are both delicious in their own right! But there’s something about this cantaloupe mango smoothie that is new and refreshing, and a great smoothie for summer.

It has an icy, refreshing taste, similar to my carrot banana smoothie! I love serving both of these to kiddos in our favorite kids smoothie cups – I promise, no spilling with these cups!

Smoothies for toddlers and kids are such an easy way to get nutrients in – especially in those hot summer months.

As a Registered Dietitian and mom to young, hungry kids, I’m always focusing on getting easy protein and nutrition in – especially when it’s easy to prep and tastes delicious.

Offering ample protein, this cantaloupe fruit smoothie with yogurt and milk even makes for a simple lunch recipe for kids that you can pair with something else, like toast, pizza, a sandwich, etc.

Your kids will love this melon mango smoothie – promise! It’s a great recipe with fresh cantaloupe, which offers fiber, Vitamin A and Vitamin C to little ones.

Why We Love This Cantaloupe Fruit Smoothie

• Made in minutes – This cantaloupe fruit smoothie is ready in minutes (and even easier cleaning with my favorite single serving blender), which makes for a convenient snack when you need it – no oven, no cooking, no mixing.
• Tastes like a milkshake – The creamy greek yogurt and milk make this cantaloupe yogurt smoothie recipe taste more like a cantaloupe shake! The same consistency as our pear banana smoothie and creamy banana peach smoothie.
• High in protein – This cantaloupe fruit smoothie packs a surprising amount of protein without the protein powder, thanks to the yogurt and milk! You can rest assured that your little ones won’t be asking for another snack seconds later.
• Beautiful color – It is such a pretty color to look at. And pretty things taste better, right?! I love this for myself too – it was a great smoothie for the first trimester.

Only 5 Ingredients!

• cantaloupe – I used fresh cantaloupe, but frozen chunks would also work.
• mango – I recommend frozen mango for some more depth and texture, but if you use fresh, you’ll just want to add some ice cubes as well.
• honey – Sub with maple syrup if you want to keep this vegan, or omit completely to reduce sweetness.
• choice of milk – I prefer dairy milk or soy milk for the extra protein for fullness. Use soy or plant-based milk for a vegan cantaloupe mango smoothie.
• choice of yogurt – I love greek yogurt, which is high in protein. It gives this cantaloupe protein smoothie 14 grams of protein!

Optional nutrient boosters – You can even add some of our favorites, like chia seeds, hemp seeds, or nut butters to boost the protein and healthy fat content for your little ones. This is one of my favorite tips for kids who need to gain weight!

Personally, I love adding greek yogurt to smoothies, as evidenced by this long list of greek yogurt smoothies! It adds protein, calcium, Vitamin D, B-vitamins, probiotics and more!

How to Make a Cantaloupe Smoothie

First, you’ll dice up your cantaloupe. Try to make the pieces uniform in size! If using fresh mango, slice it up now, though I prefer using frozen.

Next, combine all five ingredients (cantaloupe, mango, greek yogurt, milk and honey) in your high speed blender and blend.

Enjoy – it’s ready in minutes! So when your kids ask for a smoothie, make this mango cantaloupe one for all to enjoy.

You can make this ahead of time – it will stay good in the fridge for up to 24 hours! Just stir upon taking it out to get your desired consistency. Or, freeze in smoothie bags for an easy meal prep snack or breakfast.
