Frequently asked questions
Are fruit yogurts healthy?
There has been a lot of confusion about the question, “Are fruit yogurt healthy?”. If you are careful about the selection of fruits and other ingredients you choose while making a fruit yogurt at home, you are definitely going to get a healthy fruit yogurt. However, there are many products in the market today that claim to be healthy but most of them do not live up to their claims. One of the biggest clues as to whether or not a product is healthy is to check for the ingredients list before you add them in your shopping cart. The problem with this is that not all fruit will provide the same nutritional benefits, and in some cases, fruit yogurt may actually contain added sugar, which does not contribute to good health.
Some people believe that all fruits should be included in the diet, but there are several factors that you should consider before making such a decision. First of all, if you drink (fruit juice) the product that you purchase, then it is not necessarily healthy since you are only getting half of the nutrients that are in real fruit. It is not likely that the product is producing a healthy effect on the body either. For instance, the fiber may not be high enough in many fruit yogurts to make any difference, and you may also find that the flavour of the product is less than appealing if you have to give up sweeteners.
If you want to get the most health benefits from your fruit yogurt, make sure you make it at home like above and add variety of real fruits, seeds and other nutritional ingredients. This also means no added sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, and no fat. Many fruit yogurts will also contain fruit extracts, but these can be unhealthy depending on what is in them. For example, dried fruit may not have the fiber to provide benefits to the colon like other types of fruit. Making fresh fruit yogurt at home is the good way to make sure it is healthy.
Is fruit yogurt good for weight loss?
Can fruit yogurt help you lose weight? The mere mention of this term may send you running to the refrigerator to grab a pack of yogurt and then running back again to check the answer. You’re probably already familiar with the fact that yogurt is loaded with calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth, as well as healthy skin and hair. It also has a high concentration of carbohydrates, which provide energy for your body and make up for about 4% of your daily calories. And don’t think that just eating yogurt will do the trick; although you can certainly eat plenty of yogurt, if you want to burn calories fast and reduce your waistline, you need to consider what else are the ingredients of your yogurt.
Yes, eating yogurt is certainly a good thing, but not for weight loss by any means. If you want to reduce your weight and live a healthy lifestyle, then you need to add exercise into your routine. Although the added benefit of having more energy is a good thing, and can make you feel great, exercise should be combined with healthy eating, such as eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and drinking water. This combination will give you the maximum benefits and will allow you to reach your weight loss goals faster.
If you are looking for a weight loss diet, then make sure that you stay away from fruit – based products at all costs. The reason why is that they are very high in sugar. Most people have a sweet tooth and the yummy taste of fruit is hard for them to resist. But the problem comes when these sugary sweet treats are taken on an extended period of time, and when it comes to fat burning, these unhealthy foods turn into fat instead of burning off your calories as you work out and lose weight. Instead of an everyday diet consisting of ice creams, pastries, and other sugary products, make your weight loss diet la weight loss diet consisting of raw fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts. You will feel better, have more energy, and be able to reach your weight loss goals much quicker than if you eat those same items on a daily basis.
Directions
How to make fruit yogurt
Take a Sapota, wash, peel, deseed and chop it finely. Variation - If you don’t have sapota you can take 100 gm banana or 100 gm mango. These pulpy fruits give a thick base to the fruit yogurt and these are also sweet in taste, so we don’t need to add any sugar on the top of it. As we know fruits contain natural sweetener in the form of fructose, that is much beneficial than table sugar.
Add it in the mixer grinder, add little water and make a fine paste of it.
Take a bowl, add fine paste of sapota, add 1 tsp chia seeds.
Add 2 spoons oats and 200 g curd.
Mix well keep it aside for 15 min.
In this Mixture I added chia seeds, chia seeds are loaded with fiber, it contain essential fatty acids, that is very beneficial for our health, it helps to prevent from constipation, good for skin, nail and hair and overall body. Variation - If you don’t have chia seeds you can add basil seeds (sabja seeds) or flax seeds, watermelon seeds, sesame seeds. As per your choice. Chia seeds absorb nearly 5-10 time more water, so it’s always better to soak it minimum 15 min before making the fruit yogurt.
After 15 min, mix well.
Transfer to a serving bowl or glass, add 2 to 3 spoon of pomegranate seeds, chopped dates and pumpkin seeds. Pomegranate seeds gives a crunchy taste to fruit yogurt, instead of pomegranate you can add any fruit like, grapes (in moderation) or strawberry as per your choice. To make this fruit yogurt little sweet I added dates it is optional if you don’t want to add dates you can skip it.
