Ingredients
  

4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)

1 cup cooked quinoa or rice

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

1/2 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup blueberries

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint or basil, for garnish

Optional: 1/4 cup granola for added texture and crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Bell Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. If needed, trim the bottoms slightly so they stand upright. Place the peppers in a baking dish.

      Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the quinoa or rice, diced pineapple, sliced strawberries, and blueberries. In a separate small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth. Combine the yogurt mixture with the fruit and grain mixture. Mix well to ensure everything is beautifully blended.

        Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the filling generously into each bell pepper, pressing down gently to pack it in.

          Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.

            Finishing Touches: Once out of the oven, let the peppers cool slightly. Top each stuffed pepper with a sprinkle of granola for added crunch, and garnish with fresh mint or basil.

              Serve: Enjoy these delightful stuffed fruit pizza bell peppers warm as a main dish, or chilled as a refreshing side!
