Recipe: Melon Juice
April 21, 2014
I love fresh fruit juice! I always order fruit juices whenever I dine at a restaurant. Fresh fruit juices are expensive though (around Php 80-150 per glass). So I said to myself, why not make one for myself? It’s going to be way cheaper and I get to drink as much as I can. I don’t need to limit myself with just one glass of healthy and delicious freshly made fruit drink.
Cantaloupe (melon) juice is a super refreshing drink. Gladly, I discovered this recipe. This drink has got to be one of the best fruit juices ever! After I made my first pitcher, the cantaloupe became a staple item whenever I go to the grocery. Yes, I’m addicted. Hopefully, too much melon juice don’t have any side effect, hehe!
Oh, one other thing that I’m super duper glad that I discovered is a melon baller. Boy, it made my life easier!
I can make this juice without looking at the recipe anymore!
