Say what? It's Decorating Week at the Clean Mama Blog and I thought a little yogurt chat might be fun. My kids and I eat a lot of yogurt. We have it with our breakfast or lunch just about everyday. I also use it weekly in the kitchen - salad dressings, smoothies, quick breads, and pancakes. Yum! Buying a large container of yogurt is a great money-saver (as long as you know you'll finish it within a week of opening).
My absolute favorite is Stonyfield Farm Plain Cream Top or Plain Low Fat Yogurt because I can bake and cook with it and eat it during the week. I also like the fact that I can control the sweeteners that are in it.
So what do we add to yogurt? My kids like the plain yogurt with a squirt of honey and dried cranberries, I like a little strawberry jam in mine. Here's a list of some of our favorite mix-ins:
- honey
- maple syrup
- vanilla extract
- fresh fruit (berries, peaches, and bananas)
- dried fruit
- granola
- chocolate chips
- cinnamon sugar
- jam or jelly
- almonds or walnuts
And here's my dessert.
mmm...great ideas for a healthy snack! I just started putting honey in my Greek yogurt and I was surprised at how yummy is was! It's nice to create your own flavors when the store-bought ones get kinda boring...
