After I posted the Cookies and Cream and Marshmallow Rice Crispy Treats recipes, which both involve Greek yogurt, I received the below suggestion from my friend Marci that makes a perfect breakfast on the go.
I get any flavor of Greek yogurt and add 1/4 cup of granola and a few tablespoons of raisins. Mix and enjoy.
Here’s another recipe to try:
Bananas provide natural sweetness and nutrition.
Greek Yogurt Smoothie

Options
What’s great about this recipe is that it’s so versatile. You can personalize this recipe by…
- Modifying the measurements to meet your food plan or needs. For example, use 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup milk.
- Mixing up the fruit. For example, add one-half cup frozen berries and one-half frozen banana.
- Changing the flavor of the Greek yogurt (but check labels – often the flavored varieties are loaded with sugar)
- Adding flax or Chia seeds for additional fiber and nutritional benefits
