Healthy Vanilla Yogurt + Orange Creamsicle Yogurt

 

 

I feel pretty brilliant right now, just sayin! Today I am going to share with you two super easy ways to make flavored yogurt, that’s healthy and not full of refined sugar. Plus… they are quick and healthy to make.

Have you ever noticed how flavored yogurts are SO not healthy? Check this out:

A small serving cup of vanilla yogurt contains 19 grams of sugar, which is equal to almost 5 teaspoons of sugar! Yikes! Talk about sweet. This definitely won’t help you Tame Your Sweet Tooth , like we talked about in the healthier living post!

Now unless you like consuming massive amounts of sugar in one sitting, you probably want to learn how to make flavored yogurts yourself. I will be sharing a Vanilla yogurt and an Orange Creamsicle yogurt with you. After you learn to make these, you can easily come up with other flavors.
