Fun with Greek Yogurt

Today is Sunday and I have to get ready to go back to school.

This break has been so nice and much needed.  After all the Thanksgiving festivities and Black Friday shopping, I also got to go freeze my toes off at the Northwestern v. Illinois game.

Then, I got to help decorated Bri's Mom's Christmas tree. So pretty!

Also, of course, I indulged in a lot of awesome frozen yogurt with my friends and family.

Yogurt is quickly becoming one of my favorite treats.  I have done a little experimenting lately with yogurt and made some yummy and healthy snacks.  For both of these little treats, I used Chobani Greek Yogurt.  Today I am sharing pumpkin yogurt and peanut butter yogurt.  I am pretty sure that these would make awesome frozen yogurt options.  If only I had my ice cream maker at school!

Pumpkin Spice Yogurt

Ingredients:
3/4 cup non-fat plain greek yogurt
3 tbsp pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp agave nectar

Directions:
1. Stir everything together.  Add more pumpkin or agave to taste.  Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Yogurt

Ingredients:
3/4 cup non-fat plain greek yogurt
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 tbsp honey
Toppings: I used mini m&ms, but oreos, reeses, chocolate chips, etc would work well too!

Directions:
1. Mix the yogurt, peanut butter, vanilla and honey together.  Add more honey or peanut butter to taste. Top with toppings or enjoy as it is!

Enjoy :)
