You don’t have to cancel yogurt from your dietary plan when you become vegan or follow a plant-based nutrition plan. You only need to pick your favorite vegan option and use it in your breakfast or as a snack, getting the probiotics you need and also calcium, vitamin D and B12 if it’s enhanced –which it probably will be. Coconut yogurt is a fermented food which automatically makes it beneficial for your gut microbiome and immune system and using it as your healthy, cruelty-free base you can make miracles if you add antioxidants from fruit and chocolate. This combination will support your immune system loading it with vitamin C and antioxidants, while the fibre and the probiotics take care of your gut. Check the recipe below, which will only take a minute to make, and enjoy it in your first meal of the day or when you crave for something sweet and tasty.
Ingredients
1 coconut yogurt
2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
1 tbsp raw hazelnuts
30 gr dark fair-trade chocolate with orange
a handful of cranberries
a handful of black raisins
Method
Put the yogurt in a bowl and add your pomegranate seeds, the hazelnuts, the cranberries and the raisins. Cut your chocolate in small pieces and add it too. Mix with a spoon and your breakfast/dessert is ready in 1 minute!
Tip
Instead of adding whole pieces of chocolate, you can grate it above your yogurt and use less so as to reduce sugar content in your recipe. It will still give a chocolate and orange scent to your meal, along with antioxidants, as long you make sure it’s dark, with at least 70% cocoa.
