I eat a fruit bowl every morning. When I first started eating them everyday, I was concerned that the amount of food would not last me until lunch. But I have found now that I last longer on a huge bowl of fruit than I do on cereal, and I feel much healthier and energetic. Its a great way to start your morning! Right now is the best time of year for fresh fruit and here are 10 that will taste real good in that ceramic vessel of a bowl.
Blackberries—they are in season NOW…go pick some off your neighbors bushes that are leaning over into your backyard!
Blueberries–there are still places around Portland that are ripe with blueberries too. Our 2 bushes in our backyard are doing great right now…HIGH YIELDS.
Melons are great right now! Hermiston watermelon and honeydew melon are super sweet.
…and cantaloupe too! SO GOOD RIGHT NOW!!
Mandarin Oranges are in season now…I just got a 5 lb bag for $4 at Fred Meyers…..
Cherries are going crazy right now…feels like a great time to gorge yourself on them. RARE. Although hard to put in a fruit salad, I usually have a bowl next to me of them so I can snack on em. Don’t bite the pit, you’ll crack your tooth! Thats what momma says.
Strawberries are still available too….
California grapes are cheap right now, and seem fresher than the rest of the year.
…and almost here is APPLE season! yay. Soon we will be up to our ears in apples.
So, if you combine all these fruits into a salad, invite me over. A great way to start your morning–with me at your table and a huge fruit bowl.
BN Out!
