| Easy Dessert | Greek Yogurt with Honey x Green Fruits

Don't you have days were you just want to break the cycle of having the same old things for dinner, snacks or desserts? Well I am here to help you break that cycle, the best part about it is that it is super easy and so delicious. I got this recipe idea from my honeymoon trip, where I had two stops in Greece. When we were in Katakolon, a seaside town where Olympia is situated, we stopped for lunch, and my husband just wanted to have something light, so he went for the Greek yogurt on the menu, when it came out it looked so decadent without being overly done. It was simple, yet it was one of the best things I've had (that's only because I stole a few scoops from him). So I knew that I wanted to recreate it once I got back home, because I just had to have it again, and again. I've already made it like six times and I still can't get bored of it. 

So next time you have people over, just whip this up in 5 minutes and they will be thankful for it, because not only does it taste good, it is good for you. Kiwi has many helpful properties, it helps with your digestive system, is high in fiber and it eliminates toxin (that's just to name a few). Grapes are good for protection against cancer, anti-aging, and high in antioxidants. Greek yogurt does the same, good for your digestive system due to its probiotics, is high in protein and a good source of vitamins B6 and B12. Honey has antibacterial properties and is a good source for antioxidants (in moderation of course, because it is still a sugar after all).

Most despise the thought of getting sick, but those pesky little viruses don't know how to stay away, they want our body and they want it bad. To get rid of them the right way, you only have to follow three simple things and I guarantee those germs will be repelled. The best way to nurse a cold is really by giving your immune system the support it needs, not by suppressing the symptoms, that never is any good. Most over the counter medicine don't get rid of the virus, instead it will place a mask over it or suppress, which means the germs aren't being let out, they remain in your system. Consider why you get a runny nose, or the non-stop sneezing attack, those are germs being expelled from the body, that means your body is doing the work, to get the germs out, which is what it needs to do. So let the the cold run it's course naturally so that you build a strong immune system, and in return you will get sick less often. These natural remedies will do just that, help your immune system.
