Cantaloupe & Watermelon Cubes with Orange Ginger Yogurt

In the high heat of summer I tend towards something fresh, cool, and plant-based in the morning. Trying to tackle a heavy eggs and bacon, pancakes, or oatmeal style start doesn't go down too well - in my experience - let alone the warmth conjured through the process of cooking it all up.

Here's a simple yet filling bowl that is meditative to prepare, and it opens onto a wide range of variations.

Cantaloupe and Watermelon Cubes drenched in Orange Ginger Yogurt

I'm not boasting any special yogurt making skill here. I used 'Siggi's Icelandic style skyr', the orange ginger flavor, which uses candied ginger.

Here you'll find a lovely exploration of Siggi and his work, via the professional Elina at her cooking blog 'Healthy & Sane' at: http://blog.healthyandsane.com/2010/08/an-ode-to-yogurt-siggis-yogurt-giveaway/.

The rest is too easy...but quite satisfying.
Oh, but don't bother with packaged, pre-cut fruit. Honestly, the tiny bit of work in cutting your own provides a kind of therapeutic start, immeasurable freshness, and creative freeway. It's fun.
