Would you like a snack that tastes like dessert and has 0% fat and at least 15 grams of protein?
Me too!
That's why I created this:
DIY Chocolate Greek Yogurt
Ingredients:
Directions:
Stir the yogurt and cocoa powder together until completely blended. Top with pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and honey. Enjoy!
(And yes, you can just buy flavored Greek yogurt. But it's always filled with so much sugar! Even though this version is sweetened by honey I still feel better about it because the honey is a secondary ingredient, and one of only a few ingredients total. It's so much better for you!)

Ingredients:
- 1 Container Greek Yogurt (I used 0% fat but feel free to go crazy and use 2%! I would have if I'd had it on hand!)
