Strawberry yoghurt pots
Healthy AND yummy, these little desserts taste of summer and are fab to enjoy while lounging on a soft blanket watching the world go by.
Ingredientes:
450gr Greek or Natural yoghurt
4 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Small jars with lids
Optional but highly recommended:
Fresh berries
Digestive biscuits
Edible flowers such as pansies*
How to:
Just mix the yoghurt with the honey and vanilla extract and fill it into the small jars.
