Power Yogurt


I'm starting to think that taste is conditioned by society. It makes sense. We don't exist without borrowing ideas. We don't taste without knowing from somebody else what taste is like.

So at some point, I became conditioned to like plain Greek-style yogurt and apricots, and to consider them as having a "healthy" flavor. I then became conditioned to find things with "healthy" flavor preferable and good. This was not always the case. It took intellectual and physiological effort.

But from what I've heard, even from the kitsch-food gourmands, apricots, yogurt, cinnamon and flax seeds aren't too difficult to get the hang of.

To make power yogurt, you need:

  • 1 cup low-fat Greek style yogurt
  • sliced apricots
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp flax seeds
  • dash cinnamon

Sprinkle flax seeds and cinnamon over yogurt in small bowl. Add honey and apricots. Spoon onto palette!
