- ½ cup cantaloupe, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 ice cubes, broken or crushed as needed


Ultra-processed foods are made in factories. They often have:
- Extra sugar, salt, or fat
- Additives to change taste, color, or shelf life
- Ingredients you wouldn’t find in a regular kitchen
Examples include:
- Packaged snacks (like chips and cookies)
- Frozen meals and pizza
- Instant noodles
- Hot dogs, lunch meats
- Soda and candy

In the US almost 60% of calories come from ultra-processed foods.

Wash hands with soap and water.
Cut cantaloupe into 1-inch chunks
(remove seeds and rind).
In a food processor or blender, combine the yogurt, orange juice, cantaloupe, and ice. Blend until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a large glass and enjoy immediately.

Try adding in ½ a banana, a couple fresh orange slices, or tossing in a handful of your favorite leafy greens (like spinach or kale!).
Have some fun with it!
