Ode to Greek yogurt


2015.09.30

Under all that goodness (mango and strawberry) is plain Greek yogurt

So I have a confession to make. I used to think Greek yogurt was the pits. Even flavored ones were tart, so why should plain be better? I decided to give it another shot this morning for breakfast. I looked around my counter and couldn’t see any suitable fruit to add to it. So I made a trip to the store. You know how they say, don’t go to the store on an empty stomach? Well, yeah, that was me. Except in my case I stocked up on fruit that I share with my family anyway, so it was all good. I took home my haul, set the table pretty with a placemat, a blue bowl, put a 1/2 cup of yogurt and added mango cubes and halved strawberries. I could smell the fruit. Yum! With much anticipation, I took a bite. And. Oh. My. Goodness. It was so good my tongue just luxuriated in it all. That’s the advantage eating stuff without all the sugar. You can really taste everything, even the trickle of mango juice in your mouth. When the fruit was all gone, I scraped my bowl and licked my spoon clean of every single drop of that used-to-be-detested yogurt.
