Hey Look… It’s a Cantaloupe Coconut Lassi.
And then, there are others when I thank the universe that no one can see me.
Yesterday was both.
Lots of delicious things came out of my kitchen. Also coming out of my kitchen? A very loud, off-key version of Lisa Loeb’s Stay not in tune whatsoever while it played on Pandora after I overflowed a mason jar with beer and ate about 16 maraschino cherries from the jar. And the overflowing foam looked so pretty that I then intentionally overflowed it again just so I could take a picture. Which I didn’t even get. Boo freaking hoo.
In addition to all of the things that materialized in my kitchen, it was 5 million degrees and I finally let the heat win. I needed something cold and while I wished it was an entire gallon of Phish Food, that was practically impossible to eat while doing a bunch of other things. The only thing I could add to my multitasking list was a straw.
So I did!
This is totally healthy too. And it tastes good. And it’s somewhat filling. And it doesn’t even have chocolate? I’m so confused.
Buuuut I just happen to think it’s the new perfect snack. Plus it was an interesting new way for me to consume cantaloupe which I’ve been totally destroying this week. True story: I’m on my 4th.
Oh and in case anyone’s interested, I just wasted 90 minutes of my life watching Wanderlust. What?
Cantaloupe Coconut Lassi
serves 1 generously or 2 appropriately
1 cup coconut water
1/2 cup light canned coconut milk
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 cups frozen cantaloupe cubes
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of salt
toasted coconut for garnish
Combine all ingredients together (except for toasted coconut) in a blender and process until smooth! Garnish with toasted coconut. Drink up.
But I guess I just should have made a Phish Food shake. Duh.

This is awesome and I can’t wait to make it! Sooo refreshing! :)
Awesome! Do you think those ingredients would freeze well? I would love to try this as a frozen desert.
So unique! I love this idea!
This sounds super delicious, light, and healthy. I’m really into this.
Yep fell asleep thru Wanderlust waste. Tried the Lassi not a waste love it. Now I might also try the foaming beer today. I live in Wa state and we finally have made it to the 70’s . We’ve been stuck in the 50’s and low 60’s since last year. Might just need that brew today now that spring has made it here. HA Waiting still for summmer.
Hahaa! I just watched Wanderlust too. What in the world…
This lassi looks DELICIOUS. I’ve never thought about using frozen melon/cantaloupe in a blended drink but I’m loving the idea. Thanks for the recipe.
Love the idea of using cantaloupe in the drink. It looks sooo good.
I know what I’m doing with my extra coconut milk now! This looks like Bali in a glass
You had me at lassi or maybe it was at coconut, nope, it was definitely at cantaloupe. This sounds amazing I can’t to try this. Sounds so yummy!
I always pick up cantaloupes but never just want to eat it cut up. Great way of using a cantaloupe!
This looks great Jess. Pinning now!
Where did you get those recycled glasses? I have a friend who found a few at TJ Max and is looking for more!
Pier 1!
Thanks!!

Its like you learn my mind! You appear to know so
much about this, like you wrote the e book in it or something.
I believe that you just could do with a few percent to
force the message home a little bit, however instead of that, that is wonderful
blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
Made this today. It was great. And the color is amazing. Making it for a women’s wellness event this Saturday. I’d rather use your brain cells than mine. ;) I’ll share the source for sure. (in case they don’t like it! bah!!)
