BANANA BREAD & GREEK YOGURT

BANANA BREAD & GREEK YOGURT
0 vote

My mom puts sour cream in her banana bread (I think she stole my best buddy Ricardo’s idea—okay, he’s not my best buddy, but I like to think he is), so I did something a little different and added Greek yogurt to mine. Honestly, it’s delicious and much healthier.

Since meat and fish have been making me feel ill these last few months, Greek yogurt has been my only source of protein. I put it on everything, and unlike other ingredients I’ve used excessively as of late, I’m not sick of it yet.
