This is such a summery recipe that I love to have to cool me down in the summer months. The hint of passionfruit really transports me to somewhere exotic.
This dish contains coconut yoghurt, which is a fantastic source of dietary fat. Many people fear foods high in fat; one reason for this misconception is because fat contains more calories per gram than protein or carbohydrates.
Whilst there is indeed truth to this, you do not need to be calorie-counting in order to lead a healthy lifestyle. I would encourage you not to fear fat and understand that not all fat is the same. There are many different types of fat such as healthy fats (these are called polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated fats) and then there are the not-so-healthy sources of fat (such as trans-fats).
Coconut yoghurt is primarily made up from saturated fats. It is a mixture of coconut milk (made from coconut meat and coconut water), which is then combined with probiotic cultures to transform it into a creamy consistency.
Coconut yoghurt is an excellent alternative to dairy because our bodies can easily digest it. Absorption of dairy is dependent on an enzyme called lactase, which some people fail to produce as adults.
Without lactase to break down the lactose, the sugar in cow’s milk, our body struggles to digest it, producing adverse reactions such as IBS symptoms and other health complaints.
As a great option for those with food sensitivities, coconut yoghurt is also a source of calcium, so going dairy-free still means it is possible for you to reach your daily calcium requirements.
Ingredients
6 heaped tbsp natural coconut yoghurt
1/2 passion fruit
1 tbsp pomegranate seeds (to serve)
1/2 tsp maca powder (to serve)
Pinch hemp seeds (to serve)
Method
Smooth out the yoghurt into the base of a breakfast bowl.
Spoon the passionfruit into the yoghurt, stirring it through until the yoghurt develops an orange colour.
Serve with hemp seeds, pomegranate seeds and maca powder sprinkled on top.
