I like my snacks to have a source of protein, but I also like to throw a little fruit into the mix. This cantaloupe boat contains both, as well as some calcium and potassium. It's a low-calorie snack that's refreshing, creamy, and tangy all rolled into one.
To learn how to make this simple recipe, read more.
- Cut a cantaloupe in half. Then cut one of the halves in half, so you're left with a quarter of the melon. Refrigerate the rest.
- Scoop out the seeds and fill the hole with four ounces of lowfat cottage cheese.
- Sprinkle with 1/8 cup of Craisins.
- Use a spoon to scoop bites right out of the cantaloupe peel. You don't even need to bother with dirtying a dish.
