Notes

Feel free to use any yogurt you prefer. The berries and sweet potato naturally sweeten this recipe so you can use plain yogurt if you are looking to reduce added sugars that may be in flavored yogurts. Greek yogurt is also an excellent source of protein! Feel free to substitute the frozen berries in this recipe for your favorite frozen or fresh fruit.
