Benefits of Coconut Yogurt Bowl

Our Coconut Yogurt Bowl is full of delicious and beneficial ingredients that will help give you energy throughout the day! 

Coconuts are high in fat and rich in nutrients! They are high in manganese which is essential for bone health, and also high in copper, iron, and selenium. Coconut is also high in fiber which helps our gut health and to keep us full. 

Using coconut yogurt in this recipe adds a delicious tropical flavor! Flax seeds and chia seeds are also nutrient powerhouses! Flax can help add fiber to your diet (they are better absorbed ground vs whole) and so can chia seeds. They are also both rich in omega 3 fatty acids which are important for our health. 

Passionfruit and pineapple are both rich in vitamin C and fiber. Coconut sugar and coconut flakes add extra flavor and calories to this Coconut Yogurt Bowl! 

Either as breakfast or a snack, it is fiber filled to keep you full throughout the day and has extra nutrients to benefit your health. To learn more about high fiber fruits check out this article from our sister website, The Geriatric Dietitian!

How to Make Coconut Yogurt Bowl 

Blend the coconut yogurt, coconut sugar, and the pineapple chunks in a blender until smooth. Once it is blended, pour into a bowl to use as your base. Next, sprinkle the flax and chia seeds on top of the bowl. 

Cut open the passionfruit and scoop the insides out on top of the yogurt bowl. Sprinkle coconut flakes on top and enjoy!

Note: you can also mix the pineapple with the yogurt and sugar instead of blending it! Try using ground flax instead of whole to make it easier to digest.
