Summer is in full swing and we are now able to enjoy many fruits grown by local farmers. This time of year is amazing because everything tastes so fresh and delicious. I enjoy going to farmer’s markets and fruit stands at the side of the road.

I am usually a creature of habit and like to have the same breakfast every day; however, the last week or so the fresh fruit has been calling me.

With so many choices I decided that making a summer fruit yogurt bowl would be a nice breakfast alternative to my normal bagel.

I started out with a few large spoons of greek yogurt in the bottom of the bowl. I find that greek yogurt has the protein you need to feel full. Next, I cut up a variety of fresh fruit. There are so many combinations that you can experiment with. One of my favourites is strawberries, bananas, and blueberries. Another combination that I enjoy is bananas, blueberries, peaches and yellow plums.

Topping your bowl off with homemade granola or store bought adds the necessary crunch. Adding a final drizzle of local honey or maple syrup adds that touch of sweet.

Will you try this breakfast bowl?
