5:2 Diet - Coconut Fruit Salad = 174 Calories

Summer fruit nestled onto a bed of coconut yoghurt and finished with a sprinkle of dessicated coconut.





CO-YO YOGHURT


I wanted this dessert to be vegan, so I used a vegan yoghurt called CO-YO. You could use your favourite vegan yoghurt.

You might not have heard of CO YO. It is a yogurt is made from the milk of the coconut and not from dairy milk.

It is made with a mix of plant based probiotic cultures that contain no dairy and is gluten free.

It tastes like the most gloriously rich coconut yoghurt. As you may know, my husband has decided to follow a vegan diet, so he was overjoyed with this yoghurt and really enjoyed it with his fruit salad.


COCONUT FRUIT SALAD

I love a simple but fresh dessert and even better if it is low calorie.

My salad is a ripe Summer fruit nestled onto a bed of coconut yoghurt and finished with a sprinkle of
dessicated coconut.

Delicious!

I hope you try it!

  1. Strangely enough I had this exact thing for my breakfast the other day. Well, it had a sprinkle of granola on top and it was just ordinary coconut yogurt.
    Was very yummy, though.
    Love your holiday snaps - looks like fun - especially the wet beach - my kind of fun!
