These cottage cheese melon cups make a simple, protein-rich breakfast or lunch that is especially refreshing during melon season. Cantaloupe is about 90% water and relatively low in calories while being especially rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, and potassium. Paired with creamy cottage cheese, fresh basil, and crunchy toasted pumpkin seeds, each serving provides about 35 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and only 340 calories.
