Late summer is cantaloupe season! This easy bowl combines cantaloupe with creamy cottage cheese, banana, crunchy granola, and peanut butter for a sweet, satisfying meal that takes just a few minutes to throw together. Don’t knock it until you try it!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup fresh cantaloupe, cubed
- 1 banana, sliced
- ¼–⅓ cup granola
- 1–2 tbsp peanut butter
- Drizzle of honey, optional
- Cinnamon, optional
- For extra carbs you could serve this with cooked oats or white sushi rice for a rice pudding-like breakfast.
Directions:
Begin with cottage cheese; combine all the ingredients into a bowl. Add fresh cantaloupe, banana, and granola. Drizzle with peanut butter and a little honey or maple syrup.
Why we love it: Cantaloupe brings natural sweetness, hydration, and vitamin C; cottage cheese adds protein; granola and fruit add carbohydrates. It’s a simple way to build a balanced dish around produce that’s in season.
Cantaloupe is especially delicious in the late summer months when it is in-season; you don’t want to miss this recipe!
