Yogurt Bowl
Ingredients
BASE
- The base of the bowl is yogurt. Nutritionally speaking, unsweetened plain yogurt – regular or dairy-free – is recommended. And with the toppings factored in, sweetened really isn’t necessary. But unsweetened yogurt can be an acquired taste for some, so if it is, try half sweetened and half unsweetened yogurt at first and gradually work towards using unsweetened entirely. Looking for a yogurt with minimal added sugar is also an option. Or just start off using your favorite yogurt! (And branch out when and if you feel ready.) Protein powder can be mixed into the yogurt for added flavor and of course, protein
