Sometimes you just need some fruit in your life.

After a weekend of cake filled preschooler birthday I felt like I needed a more 'grain free' breakfast this morning to let my body settled and readjust itself. I wanted something light but filling enough to hold me through my morning.

My first thought was yogurt and fruit, but it wasn't quite appealing enough. A hah! What about a self containing breakfast? An edible bowl!

Of course, there are a few options out there for edible fruit bowls such as honeydew, watermelon, papaya... Really any sort of melon would work out pretty well.

I only went with cantaloupe since they were on sale at my grocery store this weekend. Well...that, and I know that my grandma is a huge fan of them. She's here visiting all the way from the Oregon coast!

As if all that fruit wasn't enough, I added some chia seeds and almonds for a little bit of a crunch and also a nice boost in protein. After all, this is supposed to get me through my morning!

I didn't manage to eat all of my melon, but I was still rather full all the way up until lunch time with this wonderfully fruity breakfast.
