Canteloupe Lassi for the love of Melon

Summer is when I remember fruits. Except, I am not really big on Melons. The other day I picked up a Cantaloupe and used in to make a lassi. And, cantaloupe lassi is born. I now have a new and wonderful way to enjoy my favorite summer drink. And, we are in the cantaloupe business to be specific in the Cantaloupe Lassi business.

Light and frothy, refreshing and just a little tangy. This is the perfect summer drink to start your morning.

My Cantaloupe Lassi Story

Just in case, for the uninitiated a lassi is a refreshing yogurt based smoothie. It can be sweet or salty. Fruit lassis are getting increasingly popular. The most common fruit lassi is of course mango lassi. After all, it is a main stream Indian restaurant staple. In summer fruit lassis are a breakfast staple for me, you can find my strawberry lassi and peach and papaya lassi here. Thanks to the instant pot making homemade yogurt is also a daily thing for me these days. Well, mostly daily, I make it on demand.  More potential fruits for you lassi repertoire ae blueberries, nectarines and watermelon to name a few.

The house is so much quieter without my daughter. With her in New Mexico now, my groove seems off.  I wonder if a part of me is just gone forever.  And not quite the same as the baby birds flying coup. After all, birds have new bird babies every year. As I reflect, I have been generally reflective today. I used the excuse/opportunity to skip my evening walk. The highlight of this week has been the fact that we have been able to get out and about in person this week.  I hit my favorite City Limits twice, once for happy hour.  Life’s simple pleasures are those that we sometimes take for granted. And then when they are gone we miss them and crave for them again.

Now to wind down and get ready for the weekend ahead. Hope your weekend is a good one.
