Healthy Homestyle Strawberry Shortcake Dessert

2 cups Greek Yogurt & 1/4 cup all natural sugar
Sliced strawberries
2 cups whole wheat flour (or 1 cup white, 1 cup wheat)
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp honey
2/3 skim/2% milk (I buy & drink raw milk directly from a dairy farmer w/out hormones) though limit my intake due to high fat content
3 1/3 tbsp olive oil (versus vegetable oil-- I never cook with this anymore)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients separately. Combine and stir. Knead a little and plop into muffin tins. Bake 10-15 minutes. Cool. Slice in half.

Add yogurt mixture. Top with sliced strawberries. Enjoy!

Depending on the milk %, one 2 inch biscuit is about 70-90 calories. 1 strawberry is only 2 calories but rich in Potassium (10.7 mg) and Vitamin C (7% of your daily value). I often cook and substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt was originally made from sheep milk rather than cow milk, though now due to it's popular demand it is often made with cow's milk. Greek yogurt has nearly double the amount fo protein than it's rival. It's also jam packed with B6 and B12 AND has a very low fat content.

As always, eat in moderation (no more than 2!) and makes a great freezable biscuit and breakfast food and low calorie dessert.

And, don't forget your 100 naked jumping jacks! Enjoy!
