Greek Nonfat Yogurt Blueberry On The Bottom
by H E Butt Grocery
A decent Greek yogurt with beneficial probiotics but compromised by added sugars in the fruit preparation. The live cultures support gut health, but the 15+ grams of added sugar pushes this into occasionally-consume territory rather than daily staple.
