I didn’t realize it until now, but I tend to add mango to smoothies often, and this mango cantaloupe smoothie recipe 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.

“Never thought of putting cantaloupe in a smoothie but it’s delicious!”
Mary
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!
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 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.
- Tastes like a milkshake – The creamy greek yogurt and milk make this cantaloupe smoothie recipe taste more like a cantaloupe shake! The same consistency as our pear banana smoothie.
- High in protein – This is a high-protein smoothie option (without the protein powder), so you can rest assured that your little ones won’t be asking for another snack seconds later. The protein and possible fat content (depending on your choice of dairy) should help keep them full.
- Beautiful color – It is such a pretty color to look at. And pretty things taste better, right?!
Only 5 Ingredients!
- cantaloupe – I used fresh cantaloupe, but frozen chunks would also work.
- mango – I recommend frozen mango for some more depth, 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! If you’re more of a cottage cheese person, you can add that too – this cottage cheese smoothie with banana is a fave!
You can also add any other (tropical) fruits here – My favorite mango pairings are citrus fruits, melons and strawberries.
I love it so much that I drink it as a lactation smoothie for myself as an easy postpartum snack, and just bulk it up with some oats, chia seeds and hemp seeds! It’s also a refreshing smoothie for pregnancy.
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.
How to Get a Thick or Milkshake Consistency
If you like a thicker smoothie, I recommend using frozen mango, and/or adding extra ice cubes in! This will make the cantaloupe smoothie thicker.
Enjoy – i’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.
