Breakfast Idea: Yogurt-Filled Cantaloupe


I go crazy for melon this time of year because it's so juicy and refreshing, not to mention filling. I love all melons, but cantaloupe makes an especially delicious treat because it tastes great when combined with other foods. The cantaloupe boat recipe I posted a while back made with cottage cheese and dried cranberries is one of my faves, and if you too are a fan, you'll also like this variation.

To see how easy it is to whip up this recipe, and see the nutritional info, .

  1. Cut a cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Fill the hole with six ounces of nonfat Greek vanilla yogurt.
  3. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of granola and five fresh raspberries.
  4. Use a spoon to scoop bites right out of the cantaloupe peel. You don't even need to bother with dirtying a dish.

This easy recipe contains:

I love this combo, but instead of yogurt and granola I use oatmeal cooked in water and topped with almond butter. Anyways, I just thought it was interesting that the only 0.1g of saturated fat comes from the cantaloupe. I know it's just a trace amount and nothing to worry about, but I wouldn't expect it to be found in fruit.
