Pomegranate Yogurt dessert


Pomegranate drink5

About:

Rich, Creamy yogurt, Vanilla flavored pudding tempers the tart-sweet pomegranate compote.

It’s also wonderful as compote to eat for breakfast over Greek yogurt or crepes, or for dessert I love it warm with a little frozen yogurt.

Health Benefits:

Pomegranates are nutritional powerhouses – very high in vitamins and antioxidants that help fight the free radicals that can lead to disease. When they are in season, we eat them a lot, throwing them in salads or on granola, but mainly just snacking on their juicy little seeds or adding them to fresh vegetable juices
