As the winter chill settles in, it’s the perfect time to savor the vibrant fruits and vegetables of the season. One standout? Pomegranates!
Though they might seem a bit intimidating to peel, the reward is worth the effort—each ruby-red seed bursts with tart, juicy flavor. Over the holidays, my mom introduced me to a simple yet genius breakfast idea: pairing pomegranate seeds with creamy Greek yogurt. From the very first bite, I was hooked, and this wholesome, energizing combo quickly became a staple in my routine. It’s a perfect pre-practice meal for swimmers—quick, delicious, and packed with nutrients to fuel your day. I couldn’t keep this one to myself, so here it is for all my fellow hungry swimmers to enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
- Desired amount of Greek yogurt (a cup or two)
- 1-2 tbs honey
- ⅓ cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- ¼ cup no refined sugar granola (I find chocolate granola to pair beautifully with the pomegranates)
- (and any other topping you desire!)
LETS COOK!
- Add Greek yogurt and honey to a bowl – mix until honey is fully incorporated
- Top with pomegranate seeds, flax seeds, and granola)
ENJOY!!!
