Mosambi & Greek Yogurt Bowl
A vibrant and protein-packed bowl featuring creamy Greek yogurt, juicy sweet lime segments, crunchy pumpkin seeds, and a hint of aromatic cardamom, perfect for a quick and healthy snack or breakfast.
For 1 serving
Carefully peel the sweet lime, ensuring to remove as much of the white pith as possible, as it can be bitter. Segment the lime by cutting along the membranes to release the individual fruit segments, discarding any seeds.
Spoon the plain Greek yogurt into a serving bowl, spreading it evenly across the bottom or leaving it in a natural swirl.
Arrange the prepared sweet lime segments artfully over the Greek yogurt. Ensure they are distributed well for a burst of flavor in every spoonful.
Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds evenly over the sweet lime and yogurt. For enhanced flavor and crunch, you can lightly toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding them.
If desired, gently drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the bowl for added sweetness, and then sprinkle a pinch of ground cardamom for an aromatic finish.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures. This bowl is best consumed fresh.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For an extra layer of texture and flavor, lightly toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Let them cool before sprinkling.
- 2Ensure your Greek yogurt is cold for the most refreshing experience. If you prefer a slightly thinner consistency, you can stir in a tablespoon of milk or water.
- 3When selecting sweet limes (mosambi), choose ones that are firm, heavy for their size, and have smooth, unblemished skin. A slight give when gently squeezed indicates ripeness.
- 4This bowl is best assembled just before eating to prevent the fruit from releasing too much liquid and making the yogurt watery. However, you can prep the fruit and toast seeds ahead of time.
Adapt it for your goals.
