Melon Bowls with Yogurt

Just about any small melon can be used for this recipe, and it's a fun one for small children to help prepare. Allow your child to scoop out the melon seeds with a spoon or an ice-cream scoop, and encourage her to eat the yogurt directly from the melon. Start her out on a road to healthy eating!

2 Servings

1 small cantaloupe or honeydew melon

1 cup yogurt

½ cup blueberries

  • Slice the melon in half. Slice a small piece of shell off the bottom so that the melon will sit easily on a plate.

  • Scoop out and discard all seeds.

  • Wash the blueberries well, sort out any damaged berries. If using large berries, cut each in half.

  • Fill the hollow in the melon with yogurt. Top with berries.

  • If your baby has trouble scooping the melon out, assist by removing pieces using a melon baller or grapefruit spoon.
