Pumpkin Seed, Cherry & Almond Yogurt Bowl

Greek yogurt bowl topped with fresh cherries, chopped almonds and pumpkin seeds

A five-minute evening bowl that leans on the quiet minerals of sleep: thick Greek yogurt topped with cherries, toasted almonds and pumpkin seeds. Sweet enough to feel like pudding, light enough not to sit heavy before bed.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Spoon the Greek yogurt into two bowls.
  2. Toast the pumpkin seeds and almonds in a dry pan for a minute until fragrant.
  3. Top the yogurt with the cherries, seeds and nuts, and finish with a little honey if you like.

Why it works

Magnesium is the thread here — pumpkin seeds and almonds are two of the richest everyday sources, and magnesium helps quiet nerve activity as the day winds down. The Greek yogurt adds slow-release casein protein and calcium for bone health, while cherries bring a naturally sweet finish without a heavy sugar load.
