Pomegranate Granola with Vanilla Yogurt




A picture is worth a thousand words....and just look at how pretty this looks!   A delicious and easy weekday breakfast (weekends are reserved for bacon and eggs!).

I bought the pomegranate seeds at Costco for $7.99 for a double container...all ready to sprinkle on whatever...be it salad or breakfast!

What to do:

  • Scoop your favourite vanilla yogurt in a bowl...mine is the Oikos 2 % vanilla
  • Sprinkle on 1/3 - 1/2 cup of granola (I used Nature's Path Pumpkin Granola)
  • Top with pomegranate seeds
It is refreshing, and has a source of protein, fruit and grain combined in one bowl.  

Pomegranate seeds may be small, but they are mighty!  Take a look at what the some of the health benefits are:
  • rich in vitamin C
  • rich in antioxidants that have heart health and anti-cancer benefits
  • source of vitamin K (essential in proper blood clotting and also helps maintain healthy bones)

So next time you are at Costco, buy those pomegranate seeds!  Throw them in your salad, have them for a snack, toss them on top of your granola!  Your heart (and the rest of you) will love you for it!
