A white table cloth on a white table. A square white bowl sits with greek yoghurt in it, topped with pomegranate seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon and grated coconut. A bowl of pomegrante seeds, spoon of chia seeds, spoon of cinnamon and some scattered coconut shavings are covering the table.

Forget the ice cream, yes, I said it. Put the Ben and Jerry’s tub in the trash. This has quickly become my favorite dessert to make for a tasty treat and it won’t add layered to your waistline. (Unless, of course, you consume large amounts everyday, trust me, it’s hard not too it’s that delicious). The grated coconut flavor with the crunch of pomegranate seeds is enough to fall in love with this recipe.

Coconut Greek Yoghurt With Pomegranate

I was looking for something that would get rid of my cravings for something sweet and indulging on the weekends. Being a huge fan of Greek Yogurt, I have often relied on it to take that edge off. Lately, I have been experimenting on things to top it with, like you would ice cream. I try to keep it a healthier treat so I steer clear of toppings like chocolate, caramel sauce and granola. After testing a few toppings out, I found one that really satisfies that urge for a special treat. I want to share with you my new favorite combination for this delicious dessert or snack.

Versatile Greek Yoghurt Toppings

The beautiful thing about this recipe is while I love it as a dessert. I can eat this for breakfast, a snack, as a light lunch with a smoothie or a dessert after dinner time. It’s very versatile and you can add flaxseed or cacao powder to it too for more energy boosting ingredients. If you don’t like pomegranate seeds throw on your favorite berries but keep it a small amount as they are still high in sugar. It’s really tasty to try a few combinations but at the moment, I am absolutely drooling over the crunch that the Pomegranate seeds provide and that tangy flavor with the Greek yogurt. The cinnamon and coconut flavors combine are a tasty treat too. Definitely reminds me of Autumn and cooler days ahead. I even enjoy this warmed up a little bit on those cold winter nights to comfort you further.

If you are trying to eat a little healthier then fear not – I’ve got quite a few healthy recipes that will make sure you don’t feel like you are missing out. If you are looking for a healthier birthday cake then this lime, avocado and courgette cake is a great place to start. You could try some healthy oat bars, or my easy vegan no-bake oat bars. If you really do crave ice cream then definitely whip up some yoghurt and jam ice lollies – they are sure to hit the spot. Or instead of reaching for crisps you could make up some roasted pumpkin seeds and enjoy the salty crunch of them instead.
