Recently I have been breaking my fast with this quick, healthy yogurt bowl concoction using whatever fruit and nuts I have on hand.
Start with unsweetened plant-based yogurt. Avoid dairy products and yogurt with added sugar. If you are consuming dairy because you believe it strengthens bones, please watch my video on The Calcium Paradox.
Add fresh or frozen fruit with no added sugar. I like chopped apples, or berries, grapes and fresh pineapple.
Sprinkle on seeds such as flaxseeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds to add fiber and keep you feeling full longer.
Top with unsalted nuts. I like cashews, almonds, or pistachios. Unsweetened coconut is a nice touch.
Stir gently to blend everything together. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Yogurt can be tart but resist the urge to add sweetener. As a former sugar fiend, I speak from experience when I say that in time your taste buds will adjust.
If you are in a hurry, put all the ingredients a sealable container. Tuck into an insulated lunchbox with a spoon and enjoy on the go. For more healthy eating ideas, check out the Intentional Nutrition playlist on the Intend Well YouTube channel.
