Breakfast Melon Bowl
Servings: 4
If you don't have a big appetite in
the morning, try a fruit mixture like this for breakfast. The yogurt and
ricotta cheese add protein that will help keep you satisfied until lunch.
1 cup nonfat ricotta cheese
3/4 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
1 small cantaloupe
2 peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
2 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds
Mint sprigs
In a food processor or blender, process the ricotta until very smooth.
Transfer to a small bowl. Mix in the yogurt.
Halve the cantaloupe and remove the seeds. Cut into wedges, remove the rind and cut the flesh
into bite-size chunks. Place in a medium bowl. Mix in the peaches and strawberries. Add the ricotta
mixture and gently fold together. Divide among 4 cereal bowls.
Sprinkle with the blueberries and sunflower seeds. Garnish with the mint sprigs.
