I’m trying to eat healthier this year, and I would love to try this! Looks delicious!
YUM! I eat a lot of things like this, but I usually buy them premade at the grocery store – I never thought about making it myself.
Because I have candida, I have to eat healthy just to feel well…. But… I can’t do yogurt and most grains. I sure do miss it and your treat looks amazing!!
Like Robin said, I indulge, but usually w/pre-made. I bet it’s a lot healthier to make it fresh. It sure looks good.
I must say that it looks super duper appetizing!
I love Greek yogurt and one of my favorite fruits is raspberries! I used to live in the country where I had a big raspberry bushes! I had so much raspberries that I made jam and jellies and gave a lot of this fruit to the neighbors. I sure miss those raspberry bushes! This recipe is easy to make and sounds healthy!

Wow that looks quite decadent, considering it’s only the few ingredients listed! I absolutely love yogurt with honey so the addition of raspberries would take it to another level of greatness! The almonds would add a great crunch to the mix! I could even add granola! Thanks for sharing the recipe! Might have to make this one of these days!
