Many popular brands of yogurt marketed to kids are loaded with processed sweeteners and artificial colors. To avoid all the junk, consider using plain yogurt and adding your own flavors whenever you can. Greek yogurt is higher in protein and lower in lactose for sensitive tummies, and all yogurts contain probiotics for a healthy digestive system. Stock up on homemade peach preserves on your next trip to the local farmers’ market.
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon peach preserves or fruit spread
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
Combine ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
YIELD: about 11⁄4 cups
