Cantaloupe Smoothie

In the midst of the growing cold and ever golden-turning trees, what could be better than a taste of something that brings you back to the first days of summer? God knows I've been getting kinda bummed lately about the chances of snow and -2 degree celsius nights, and this morning I decided to make myself a smoothie for breakfast simply because I took a banana to uni in my pocket yesterday and didn't remember it until it was bruised and blackened. Rather than toss it, I decided to liquify it with anything else in my fridge/fruit basket that looked like it might be appetizing together. It ended up being delicious. So delicious in fact, that I'm writing the recipe here for posterity.

Taste-of-Summer-in-the-Middle-of-Autumn Cantaloupe Smoothie

1 banana
2 slices of cantaloupe
1 container of those snack sized Danone yogourts, strawberry flavour
1 1/4 cups milk
drizzling of Canada no. 1 medium maple syrup

Throw it all together in a blender, liquify for about 30 seconds and you're set. Pour into aesthetically pleasing glass and add a straw to slurp up a mouthful of time warp to bring you back to a lazy day in July. Makes about 2 cups.
