| Greek Yogurt w Black Raspberry & Blueberry Sauce |
It turned out a lot better than I anticipated and Bridget absolutely loved it too. She swirled hers together to make purple yogurt - plenty fancy enough for a 2 year old. The yogurt gives it a tangy taste and you can add or reduce the amount of sauce to adjust the level of sweetness. I added an extra serving or two to satisfy my sweet tooth. While it was refreshing for breakfast and started the day off with a healthy amount of protein, I wouldn't mind eating it for dessert on a hot summer evening.
Greek Yogurt with a Warm Black Raspberry and Blueberry Sauce:
2/3 cup blueberries
2/3 cup black raspberries or blackberries
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp butter
2 cups plain greek yogurt
Step 1: Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low. Gently boil for 10 minutes or until sauce thickens. Stir in butter.
Step 2: Spoon yogurt into a bowl and top with sauce according to desired flavor. Serve promptly.
The recipes also suggests that this sauce be used as a stand in for syrup on pancakes or biscuits. You can use frozen berries too if fresh ones are out of season.

Although greek yogurt is becoming a popular food items these days this was the first time I actually tried it. I was amazed to learn how much protein it has and this simple breakfast powered me through to lunch without a problem.
Be sure to let me know if you think you might try it, have tried it or if you have any questions.
So excited for you to start blogging :-) That recipe sounds amazing!! I will have to try it! Dave takes a granola, fruit and yogurt parfait in his lunch every single day... I'm sure he'd love to have this yummy fruit sauce for his parfaits! He normally likes to use frozen fruit, which thaws out in his cooler til lunch time, but also helps keep the yogurt cold! Sometimes if we don't have granola, he uses Muesli, or another type of cereal. We really like Greek yogurt... I am not a huge yogurt fan, so I don't eat it plain, however I love using it in recipes, as a replacement for sour cream, or instead of mayo in potato/pasta salad!
