**QUICKIE POST** A New Way to Enjoy Yogurt?

What's your favorite thing to eat with yogurt? What's your favorite type of yogurt? I love Greek yogurt but usually get it sweetened. I'm pretty sure the plain is better for me. But the plain is so... plain. Anyway.

So I'm trying to eat everything up in my fridge before buying groceries. Just about everything is gone. I'm down to a couple f eggs and some cheese. Last night, I had a snack attack and... nothing snack-like but some yogurt, a single apple, and a couple of bananas.

The yogurt is that super-thick Greek Chobani brand. The bananas were about to be too ripe in another day.

I chopped the bananas up over a bowl of yogurt and topped it all with a couple lines of honey.

Let me tell you what... That was the best fruit & yogurt combo I've ever had. It was like eating a healthy version of mock Nilla Wafer banana pudding pie - you know, sans the wafers. Plain Greek yogurt is normally way too tangy-like for me. The bananas just kind of... 'oomphed' it up.


Guess what my new favorite snack is? Not even just as a snack. I mean, I could eat this all day every day. I think that the trick is for the bananas to be at the right ripeness. The ones I had were not going brown, but they were on the softer-sweeter side of ripe. I probably did not need the little bit of honey I used.


The other thing I noticed is that even half a banana would have been really filling. I was over-stuffed because I added two of them - only because they were going to go too ripe soon.

Maybe this is not new to anyone but me. I just never thought of adding bananas to yogurt. I normally eat blueberries, strawberries, or pineapple chunks - you know the juicier fruits. No more. From now on, it's bananas all the way.

Now, I don't know how this will work but I am thinking of trying this combo with the bananas mashed into the yogurt. 

Anyway, that's my new thing. Greek yogurt and bananas. Cheap, healthy, filling, and fiber-full.

By the way, after I finished ranting about this, I found that it's already a thing


It's even a "diet thing". Still, I take credit for describing it as a Nilla Wafer cheat!

Peace
