Peach Homemade Greek Yogurt
Fruity yogurt is a tasty and convenient snack, but the cartons found in stores — both naturally and artificially flavored — are typically very high in sugar, clocking in at up to 40 grams per serving. The fruit is often swimming in high-fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners, which offset the health benefits of yogurt, such as its stomach-soothing live cultures and protein. This made-from-scratch recipe cuts the sugar count down, leaving it to the peaches to sweeten the treat.
