Cantaloupe Slushy
Submitted by Erin Weldon
at TheVeganWeightWatcher

1 medium cantaloupe
2 dried deglet dates or 1 dried medjool date, pitted
1 dash ground cinnamon (optional)
1 dash vanilla extract
a few handfuls of ice

Halve the cantaloupe and scoop out the seeds.  Scoop the flesh into a high speed blender and discard the rinds. Place all remaining ingredients in the blender, in the order listed.  Blend just until smooth; it's okay if there are some specs of date remaining.  Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.
