Healthy Cantaloupe Basil Slushy

I love cantaloupe and every Summer we have cantaloupe till our little heart's content!  This recipe was new to me and was the first time I'd tried it.  I loved it, so its a keeper!
Not only does it taste delicious, it looks beautiful when its served up!  Of course, as you know, every drink is better with an umbrella straw! :)
I have fresh basil growing in the back yard, so I went out and picked a few leaves for the recipe and to garnish with. Gorgeous!  I joined an Instagram tour where we all shared yummy treats of the frozen variety, so for more delicious drinks and treats, go check that out HERE.
