Honey & Yogurt Fruit Cups

Makes 6 servings

Yogurt in a cup? That sounds more like a trip to the dairy aisle than a homemade recipe, but this isn’t just any yogurt from the grocery store. Adding your own fresh fruit allows you to control what’s really in your food, and the secret ingredients (almond extract and honey) add a surprise flavor without sacrificing nutrition. One cup of plain low-fat yogurt contains about 415 milligrams of calcium. Healthy calcium intake can help reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis; a degenerative bone disease commonly found in the elderly. Calcium also helps the nerves send and receive signals, flexes and relaxes muscles, keeps your heart rate steady and plays a role in reducing blood clotting.

 

INGREDIENTS

4 cups sliced fresh fruits (pears, apples, bananas, grapes, etc.)
¾ cup mandarin, orange, vanilla or lemon low-fat yogurt
1 tbsp. honey
½ tsp. grated orange zest
¼ tsp. almond extract

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Divide the fruit among six individual bowls. Combine the yogurt, honey, orange zest and almond extract. Spoon the yogurt mixture over the fruit and serve.
