How does dessert on the grill sound? I think I just combined my two favorite things in one sentence! Even better, this recipe is a healthy alternative for your sweet tooth as it is packed with protein, healthy fat, vitamins, and fiber.

This sweet and smoky summer treat offers minerals that promote good bone health such as calcium and phosphorous. The walnuts that compliment this dish contain α-linolenic acid, which is a kind of omega-3 fatty acid found in plants. Omega-3s have been shown to reduce inflammation and may help prevent chronic diseases, such as heart disease and arthritis. They are also important for brain health and development. The Greek yogurt in this dish serves up a tang as well as protein to make this dessert a satisfying treat.

Feel free to try other fruits on the grill with this recipe such as pineapple, pears, or apricots!
