  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup Raw sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Flax seeds (ground preferred)
  • 1 cup Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup English cucumbers, diced
  • 3/4 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup Fresh microgreens or arugula
  • 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh herbs (dill or parsley), chopped

Instructions

  1. Toast the pumpkin and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant; remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Divide the plain nonfat Greek yogurt equally among four serving bowls.
  3. Layer the diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded carrots evenly over the yogurt base.
  4. Top each bowl with the cooled toasted seeds, sesame seeds, ground flax seeds, and fresh microgreens.
  5. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
  6. Garnish with fresh chopped herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

Toast seeds lightly to activate enzymes and enhance flavor. Measure portion sizes using a kitchen scale for precise bariatric compliance. Cut vegetables immediately before assembly for maximum freshness and crunch. Store components separately if meal prepping to maintain optimal texture.
