In the fight against sugar I have outlawed pre-sweetened yogurt in our house. Nothing against sweet, I just want more control over it. So this week I made up some fruity yogurt cups that are so good they just became my new dessert.
For the Fruit
It's summer and fruit is dirt cheap in the stores right now. Make up this sauce and put the extra in the freezer for later.
2 cups berries
Juice and zest from one half lemon
A few squirts of honey
Puree half your berries in a blender and roughly chop the other half with a knife (if using large berries). Toss all the ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat then simmer for 5 minutes. If the sauce is to runny just keep simmering until it thickens. Add a few spoonfuls of water or juice if it's too thick. The honey and lemon are really adjustable to taste. Just depends on the ripeness of berry. This sauce is also divine over pancakes...
Yogurt
I'm picky. Currently Trader Joe's Organic Full Fat PlainYogurt is my obsession of choice. Worth all 299 pennies it costs me.
Topping
One more karate chop to sugar! I'm trading out granola for toasted oats. Just pack them separately and sprinkle on right before eating. How to Toast Oats.
