I'm a big fan of having fruit and yogurt for a mid-afternoon, or evening snack. It's healthy, satisfies the sweet tooth, and has a nice hit of protein. Something filling and nourishing for a post-workout treat too! There are so many combinations to try and toppings to think of. No matter how you like to eat it, fruit and yogurt is a great option to have with a healthy lifestyle.
But we can all get bored with the same-old snack, so I'm here to show you some fun ideas that might make your break-time even better!

Dippers
I started doing this other day and it's such a fun snack! You can use any fruit that can be used to scoop yogurt (apples, pears, watermelon, strawberries, banana etc.) For something different, I like to use a flavored coconut yogurt which is thicker than natural ones. The mango and turmeric mix is my absolute favorite. This would be a great snack to take to work, university or even on a picnic!
Parfait
If you're craving some texture and maybe a few added nutrients, then this is a great way to go. Making up your own granola mix is super-easy and quick. All it takes is some oats, spices, nuts of your choice, and some coconut oil for baking. If you buy some already made, make sure to check that the sugar content isn't too high, companies can be pretty sneaky that way! Layer the yogurt, granola, and your favorite fruit for a filling snack any time of day.
Watermelon Pizza
Is this the best idea or what? I had seen these floating around Instagram and Pinterest, so one hot afternoon I decided to try one myself. Not only are they fun to decorate, but so delicious to eat! Just add yogurt on top, sprinkle some berries, a few nuts, and even a swirl of honey, and voila! A healthy snack that almost looks too good to eat.
Frozen Bites
These couldn't be easier to make. Just find some molds (I used cake pop ones) pour in a little yogurt, add some fruit, top with a little more yogurt, and freeze! In a few hours you will have a refreshing treat you can grab whenever you need to satisfy that sweet tooth. These are especially great on hot summer days to help cool you down.
