Article by Sky Taylor, Diet Bites
Galloping full-throttle across the hot and barren Diet Desert, The Antelope brings us hope for weight loss as we spy a cool Diet Oasis in the distance. Orange melon, vanilla - and a pinch of sweetness round off this tasty diet-friendly, diet shake recipe.
Non-Alcoholic Diet Drinks - The Antelope
Serves 4 for about 56 calories each
4 cups of ice cold scooped cantaloupe (or your favorite melon)
4 ice cubes or a bit of crushed ice
4-6 packets of Splenda or Equal
1 teaspoon of REAL vanilla extract
Blend all the ingredients until slushy.
Melon lovers can also create a tantalizing cool, cantaloupe soup by simply adding no calorie sweetener to the melon juice, a dash of ground cinnamon, a dash of ground nutmeg and a sprig of mint. Add a dollop of light whipped topping, if desired. Serve cold.
Easy Cantaloupe Soup Recipe, Chilled
You will need the following ingredients to prepare this low calorie, easy to prepare cantaloupe soup:
1 small cantaloupe, peeled with seeds removed (1 small melon contains 150 calories)
2 cup of Tropicana TROP50 Orange Juice (50 calories per cup)
1 Tablespoon of Fresh Lime Juice
1/2 Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon (use more or less based on your personal taste)
Dash of Ground Nutmeg
Simply blend the cantaloupe with the TROP50 orange juice and lime juice in a blender until smooth. Be sure the cut the melon into bite-sized chunks so that they will blend easier. Remove; stir in the ground cinnamon and the nutmeg. Use only a dash of the nutmeg as it is a very powerful spice.
This recipe makes 4 very generous servings for about 65 calories per serving. Cantaloupe is extremely low in caloric values.
How low? Even a melon that is one-half a foot in diameter contains a skinny 277 calories.
And the melon is packed with a very generous dose of vitamin C - almost 300 mg per large melon. That's a little over a mg for each caloric contained within the melon.
And of course, being one of the gifts from Mother Nature's Good Earth, it's also very low in dietary fat content.
