Ok, so this isn't a recipe so much as a serving suggestion. Greek yogurt is very high in protein and calcium and makes a spectacular breakfast, snack, or light lunch (make sure to buy fat free or 2%) Adding flax seed gives you a nice healthy dose of omega-3's, and fruit adds fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. A squeeze of honey or agave adds a touch of sweetness, since greek yogurt is pretty tart. Experiment with toppings and find your favourite combo. Blueberries and strawberries are great, and a sliced fuji apple, a handful of walnuts and a sprinkling of cinnamon is also fabulous!
Ingredients:
1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (like Fage)
2 Tbsp ground flax seed
1 medium banana, sliced
1 handful raspberries
1 Tbsp honey or agave
Throw everything into a bowl and enjoy!
