Melon Breakfast Bowl

This really isn’t much of a recipe.

It’s more of an idea.

Some inspiration for a healthy, quick, and tasty breakfast bowl.

The bowl itself is an actual Tuscan melon… a type of cantaloupe, I believe.

I mean, why dirty an actual dish when you can just throw away, er compost, the remnants of your bowl after you finish chowing down?

Now you don’t have to use a Tuscan melon.

That variety just happened to grab my eye while I was perusing the produce section.

I spend a lot of time wandering around in those parts.

92% of my groceries end up being fruits or veggies.

Make that mostly fruit… better than cheese right?

So yes my fruit consumption has been at an all time high these past few weeks.

Summer, you know!

But how are you supposed to decide between watermelon, cantaloupe, mangoes, plums, pluots, peaches, nectarines, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries anyway?

And I always have to have the standard banana and apple combo going on in my kitchen.

(I would have thrown figs into the mix but those little guys literally cost an arm and a leg.)

So much fruit.

Sooo many opportunities.

Basically what I’m trying to say is, grab half of a perfectly ripe cantaloupe, honeydew or whatever, then scoop out the seeds, stuff that hole with creamy yogurt (I go for nonfat plain Greek), sprinkle on your favorite crunchy granola, toss some almonds on there for extra extra protein, then top it all off with more fruit! Like juicy blueberries. But chopped up stone fruit or other berries would work just as well.

Scoop, scoop, and scoop.

P.S. If melon juice isn’t dribbling down your chin, you’re doing it all wrong.

P.P.S. If you’re a dairy-free or vegan individual, use your favorite dairy-free yogurt. Coconut milk yogurt would be pretty good here. Or, as good as coconut milk yogurt can be I guess.

P.P.P.S. As always, if you’re gluten-free 4 lyfe, make sure your granola is of the gluten-free variety.

P.P.P.P.S. Almonds ain’t yo thang? Feel free to swap in some macadamia nuts, walnuts, pecans, cashews, or even some hazelnuts. Let’s not go as far as plopping a big ole scoop of Nutella on this situation.

It wasn’t me.
