The cold yogurt snack without added sugars, is an alternative, fresh and delicious way to eat yogurt.
The properties of natural yogurt, without added sugars are well known because it contains calcium, minerals, is a valid alternative to milk and improves intestinal well-being. It also works very well for both savory and sweet preparations!
Given the really high temperatures this sunny Summer, the desire to make bundt cakes and cookies has completely passed, but you know that I love to experiment, so I thought of a snack different from the usual, fresh and quick… ready in just 10′ using yogurt, shredded coconut, and chocolate. There are no added sugars except in the chocolate, but if you want to make it sweeter, you can add a teaspoon of honey.
