Cooking Notes
Use fully ripe cantaloupe so the smoothie blends smoothly and tastes naturally sweet. Frozen banana thickens the drink and keeps it cold without watering down the flavor. Blend until completely smooth and adjust the coconut milk slightly if you prefer a thinner consistency.

- Use ripe cantaloupe for the sweetest flavor and smoothest texture.
- Blend the ingredients on high so the chia seeds and coconut fully incorporate.
- Add a few ice cubes only if you prefer a thicker smoothie.
