Ashley and I did a nutritional comparison begtween
Yoplait's flavored yogurts and a plain full fat yogurt. It turns out
that even if you add a couple of tablespoons of your own sugar to plain
yogurt, you still end up with about 10 g less sugar than yoplait's.
Plain yogurt kind of grows on you too. The more you eat it, the more
you crave that tangyness that is totally lacking in the flavored variety at
the store. If I top my plain yogurt with some Berry Syrup and lots of
fresh fruit, I don't even need to add any sugar. Throw on a handful of
granola, and I'm in heaven.
Make with:
Coarsly chop fruit. Grapes,
strawberries, blueberries, and misc berries work well.
Prepare
Berry Syrup and mix with plain or greek yogurt to taste.
The syrup can be made
with any fruit to create different yogurt flavors. For peach yogurt,
for example, use peaches in place of berries in the syrup recipe.
Layer fruit and
yogurt in a glass and top with granola. Parfaits will keep for a
couple of hours before serving.
