Cantaloupe, Banana, pear, and Strawberries

Okay, I’m not a morning person.  I never have been and probably never will be.  I love to sleep in.  Unfortunately with young kids that isn’t as often as I would like.  Usually I drag myself out of bed and give myself just enough time to get the boys breakfast, make lunches, and see them off to school.  Then I’ll get Sophia dressed and fed.  I usually just have a small bowl of cereal.  Well Wednesday morning was something different.  On Tuesday night, while rummaging in the fridge for something good to eat, I discovered that I still had a cantaloupe hidden in the back of my fridge.  I decided to chop it up and have a small evening snack.  Then I put the rest of it back in the fridge.  After I got the boys off to school in the Morning I found the cantaloupe in the fridge.  A fruit salad sounded pretty tasty to me.  I took the cantaloupe, pear, strawberries, and banana (all from the basket) and mixed them all up.  It was really good.  Sophia ended up with second breakfast (she had oatmeal with her brothers).  I also had a piece of toast on the side.  This was perfect for my morning.  If I get more fruits in the next basket I’ll probably do the same thing.  Cantaloupe is high in vitamins A & C, and is a good source of folate.  Strawberries are high in vitamin C and folate.  Bananas are a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.  Pears are an excellent source of fiber and a good source of vitamin C.
