What is Greek Yogurt and Berries?
Greek Yogurt and Berries is one simple dish that, more or less, contains the filing version of Greek yogurt; thick, sour in flavor, and mixed with fresh or frozen berries. Yogurt’s luscious, creamy goodness goes very well with the berries’ sweetness and tartness. You can drizzle on honey, add granola, or throw in some seeds for added crunch. Super customizable and makes an awesome breakfast, snack, or even dessert!
