Under 200 calories with no artificial ingredients, this pumpkin pie yogurt is perfect to be a breakfast or a dessert.
If someone told me I could satisfy a craving for pumpkin pie for under 200 calories using no artificial ingredients I would say “sign me up!” Well, consider yourself signed up as well.
There are a few reasons this makes the perfect snack or dessert:
1) Packed with Protein:
Greek-style yogurt strains out the whey which results in a higher amount of protein per serving than traditional yogurt.
2) Antioxidant Spices:
Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are loaded in antioxidants. A diet rich in spices reduces the body’s negative responses to high-fat meals, according to Penn State researchers.
3) Vitamin Packed Pumpkin:
A half-cup serving of pure pumpkin has only 41 calories and is loaded in vitamins and fiber. Just one serving meets 300% of your daily requirement for Vitamin A.
Your spoon is waiting.
Healthy Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt
Ingredients
- ½ c pure pumpkin
- 6 oz Greek yogurt (fat free)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tbs pure maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon

- ⅛ tsp ground cloves
- 1 pinch salt
- Graham Crackers (optional) (crushed)

Does this keep well if you make a large batch for the week?
Yes it does! It’ll keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, and you can leave off the graham crackers until ready to eat to still have that little crunch.

I just tried this recipe. It didn’t taste good at all :( so bitter and awful. I’m sorry! I followed the exact same recipe though.
Hi Mary -I’m so sorry you didn’t enjoy this snack! No need to apologize – everyone has different tastes. Did you try adding more syrup? I kept it low because I don’t like super sweet foods but maybe it would improve it for you!
No I didn’t. I followed the recipe exactly. It was too spicy and bitter. :( maybe the type of yogurt??
That could be it! I hope you find another recipe you like soon. :) Sorry again this didn’t work out for your palate.
