Healthy Yogurt

Yogurt-lover! Yep, that’s me. Do you enjoy eating yogurt too? ♥ First time I’ve had one was last April 2011 when I went up to Baguio City to do some outdoor nature photo shoots for my “A Million Little Pictures” (AMLP) submission. Then around mid last year, a yogurt place opened right across the street to my apartment. Just a couple of months after, another one opened in the heart of the city! It had started to rain yogurt! Haha~!


Part sour, part sweet, and with the consistency of ice cream. This is a new way of enjoying yogurt for me. Before the yogurt places in our area, I enjoyed the fruit-flavored or sometimes with fruit tidbits ones that come in single serving cups from the grocery stores. I would chuck them in the freezer (which I still do even now~), and enjoy them with a texture that’s almost sorbet-like. But with the frozen yogurt or ice cream-like variety, I’ve discovered the many ways yogurt can be enjoyed just by being creative with different toppings and combinations. ^^

This morning, I sliced what’s left of the strawberries from last Saturday and the seedless grapes I bought last Fruit Friday. I call Fridays at the office “Fruit Fridays” because almost without fail the fruit peddler comes to visit to sell us fresh fruits. Since I’m still so inspired by Jaime’s Food Revolution which I first saw last year, I decided to skip the chocolates and other similar sugar-charged toppings and try out my own mix of Healthy Fruit Yogurt. ^^

More seedless grapes and fresh strawberries sliced by yours truly. Well, they’re not as prettily sliced as I would have wanted because I was rushing and racing against...

...the quick melting of my plain yogurt! See how the beautiful creases are being dulled away by room temperature!

Look how the pretty cone tip of my plain yogurt ice cream is melting away its shape~ So I took quick snaps of my cut fruits, the yogurt itself, and then hurriedly put in all the slices of fruits.

I never thought that the slices would cover the entire yogurt! Felt richly blessed and satisfied that my yogurt cup overflowed with fresh healthy fruits that I bought and sliced! It was a simple yet proud moment for me~ ♥ But you know how geeky I can be sometime with these things~ ^^;

Tang-sweet plain yogurt, plus tangy strawberries, plus sweet grapes makes for a synergy that’s definitely more delicious than the tastes of its parts! Lol! ^^

Took a few more artsy sort of snaps. The glistening of the fruits made nice bokehs that were hard to resist! ♥

After that, it was time to devour the pretty overflowing cup of healthy blessings! ♥ Super yum! You should try this yogurt combo too some time. What’s your favorite yogurt combo?
