Orange Cantaloupe Smoothie for #FarmersMarketWeek

Welcome to #FarmersMarketWeek! We're taking the full week to share beautiful recipes with you inspired by ingredients that you can enjoy at your local Farmer's Markets; and this is the perfect time of year to really let the fresh fruits and veggies shine. There are some beautiful ingredients I have been picking up each week at our local markets and farms, and I can't wait to see what the other participating bloggers are serving up for inspiration!

If you have some cantaloupe and bananas - combine them for a quick, easy, and delicious smoothie to start the day! We were given a very ripe cantaloupe by my dad, and I happened to have an adorable bunch of ripening apple bananas, so I thought combining them all with a splash of orange juice and ice might be a great way to share the fruit with everyone (my family will pretty much drink anything I blend up, but getting them to eat fresh fruit before it goes bad is sometimes a challenge - depending on the week.... or the hour...).
