Tips For Making Homemade Cantaloupe Juice
Blend with Ice
You can also blend the cantaloupe chunks with ice cubes for an extra refreshing cantaloupe juice. Just blend until the ice cubes are crushed.
Experiment with Flavors
While fresh cantaloupe juice is already delicious as is, feel free to make it with fresh ginger or add lemon juice to give it that extra oomph. You can also blend cantaloupe with coconut milk for a richer cantaloupe drink.
Leave the Pulp For Texture
Strain the fresh cantaloupe juice if you prefer a smooth drink. Otherwise, leaving the pulp will add texture and fiber to the drink.
Cantaloupe Juice Recipe FAQs
How do you pick a good cantaloupe?
Pick a ripe cantaloupe for the best-tasting cantaloupe juice. It should feel firm with raised edges on the webbing and free of holes, bruising, or squishy spots. Additionally, look for a cantaloupe that smells sweet, beige in color, and has an inverted stem.
Do I need to peel cantaloupe before juicing?
Yes. The cantaloupe is peeled for this fresh fruit juice recipe, as the earthy smell on the rind can sometimes affect the flavor of the sliced fruit.
What to do with cantaloupe pulp?
After straining the juice, you can use the cantaloupe pulp to add flavor to your smoothies, popsicles, soups, pancake mix, and even cupcake batter.
Why is my cantaloupe juice bitter?
Do not include the green part when slicing the cantaloupe flesh, as it can add bitterness to the juice.
How long does cantaloupe juice last?
If stored in a mason jar in the fridge, this sweet cantaloupe juice can last for up to 3 days.
