Description

This is an extremely fast and healthy breakfast or dessert, and one I eat quite often. It is high in fiber and low in calories. For a special treat, I sometimes add a handful of Cranberry-Almond Granola  on top.

Ingredients
    Fruit and Yogurt
  • 2 ripe pears (or 2 cups of any other fruit you like)
  • 1 cup plain lowfat Greek yogurt (or vegan yogurt)
  • Optional Toppings
  • Honey (optional)
  • Cinnamon (optional)
  • A sprinkle of turmeric and a grind of black pepper (use both together for maximum nutritional benefit)
  • Granola (optional)
  • Toasted slivered almonds (optional)
  • Chia seeds
Instructions
  1. Prepare the fruit

    Cut the pears into quarters, remove the cores, then cut the quarters into bite-sized pieces. Divide the pears between two serving bowls. 

    Or, if you're using different fruit, dice it into bite size pieces if needed, and divide it between two serving bowls.

  2. Top the sundae

    Add 1/2 cup of yogurt to each bowl. Top with any toppings you like: a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dash of turmeric and a grind of black pepper, granola, toasted almonds, chia seeds, or anything else you can think of.
