Apple Orange And Yogurt Delight Recipes

APPLE, ORANGE, AND YOGURT DELIGHT

Steps:

• Mix the partially drained Mandarin oranges and the chunked apple together. Here is where you can add half a banana too. If you like more juice, spoon some of the reserved juice into the mixture to make sure the apple is coated. This acid stops the apple from turning brown overnight.
• Divide the fruit mixture into 2 containers.
• Top each container with 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt (or you can use plain yogurt with a bit of vanilla extract stirred in for less sugar)
• If you are going to enjoy this the next day, cover at this step and put in the fridge.
• Top one container with 1/4 cup wheat germ and 1 teaspoon of honey before enjoying!

BAKED APPLES WITH OATMEAL AND YOGURT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut off the top third of each apple. With a small knife, and working from the top of each apple, carefully carve out a large "bowl," including the core, about 2 inches in diameter. Rub the cut part with lemon and put the apples into a 9-inch square baking dish. Dice the carved-out parts of the apples, without the seeds, and set aside. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, and then whisk in 4 tablespoons of the muscovado sugar, the cinnamon and pepper and cook until smooth. Brush the inside of the apples with the butter mixture. Pour the apple cider into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake until the apples are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes longer. Transfer the apples to a platter. Carefully strain the cooking liquid into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Cook until it is reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. While the apples are baking, stir the hot milk, remaining muscovado sugar, reserved chopped apples and orange zest into the warm oatmeal and cook for a few minutes. Divide the oatmeal among the baked apples. Top each apple with a dollop of yogurt and drizzle the reduced cider over the top.

If you suffer from a lactose (milk sugar) intolerance, try adding "lactaid drops" (found at most pharmacies) to your milk or yogurt or purchase Alta Dena nonfat, fruit-juice-sweetened yogurt which may solve both problems (diabetes and dairy allergies unless you're allergic to the "protein" in the milk). Not only is Alta Dena nonfat yogurt fruit-juice-sweetened, it also contains acidophilus and active yogurt cultures which adds "good" bacteria to your system. It is also very helpful to eat this yogurt when you are taking antibiotics which can destroy "good" bacteria along with "bad" bacteria.
