Begin the Day with Clean Eating
If you’re looking for a clean eating breakfast idea, this delicious cantaloupe recipe is a great option. Like this keto French toast, it’s a healthy breakfast option that even kids can enjoy.
Summer is finally here and although I can’t say or write these words too many times. Read on for one of the best breakfast recipes for any season.
The brighter skies and greener grass bring with them produce bins full of fresh fruits and berries, themselves brimming with a freshness and color that can’t be found in our winter months. As an almost knee-jerk reaction, I fill my carts and refrigerator shelves with this produce, taking advantage of the season of radiance.
About this Clean Eating Breakfast
It is with our refrigerator shelves and bins near over-capacity that I scratch my bald head and ask, “What can I do with that? And that?” That and that, of course, happen to be a beautiful and round cantaloupe and a quart of adult-size and luscious appearing blueberries.
Cinnamon Can be Good for You
Opening the rustic kitchen cabinets of our cottage kitchen, I spy some of my favorite flavorings and seasonings, but it’s the cinnamon that catches my eye. As it turns out, cinnamon not only adds a nice warm taste to clean eating recipes, it can actually be good for you.
Benefits of Cinnamon
- Cinnamon can lower blood pressure in people with diabetes.
- Cinnamon is high in anitoxidants.
- Cinnamon is a natural anit-inflammatory.
- Cinnamon can help lower your chances of heart disease.
- Cinnamon lowers blood sugar and has an anti-diabetic effect.
I do a once-over looking for some honey but there is none to be found. Who needs honey?” I ask myself, remembering the just opened quart of real maple syrup nestled away somewhere toward the bottom of our fridge. “Let’s just see how well these kids get along…” The answer was of course, quite nicely.
As I discovered, this clean-eating breakfast bowl is a fantastic start to a cottage week with the boys. It’s a time when we slip together into the first weeks of June and the start of their summer vacation and into a boy’s world of memories that are, no doubt, in the making.

Love this fruit bowl and the touch of maple syrup and cinnamon boosts the flavors up a notch. So simple and easy to make! Thank you for such a great recipe!
This sounds like another perfect dish for my mother. She has congestive heart failure and the potassium is high but the blueberries and cantaloupe I have, which she loves, along with the ingredients. She will love this and I was going to add raspberries? Would that work since I have them too? Thank you so much!
Raspberries sound like a perfect addition to this healthy clean eating breakfast recipes. Thanks for the nice comments!
Oh wow! I’m thinking I’ll try this as a side dish with some hens baked with lemons and a side of zucchini. Honey is what I have on hand though instead of maple…
Honey is a fabulous idea with this great little dish. Please let us know how it turns out!
Heck yeah, it’s chopped KC! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment on this little number; it’s always delicious!
Super #fruity combo. I like the #maplesyrup idea coupled with the #cinnamon. Sounds amazing. Thanks Dan! 🙂 I believe the #Cantalope is Chopped! 😉
