Greek yogurt has many health benefits including high in protein, calcium and potassium and low in sodium. It’s also packed with probiotics which is great for gut health! Combine that with super antioxidant walnuts and immunity boosting honey and you’ve got a win-win.
To begin preparing the dish make sure you have purchased a good quality Greek yogurt which is thicker and creamier than most other types of yogurt. Also, it’s important to be mindful of the honey you are purchasing. You’ll want to look for a pure, raw, natural organic honey which keeps more of its nutritional value than processed honey.
