Sooooo good!
I used the Greek yogurt I had and added a bit of honey to the blender to balance the added acidity. For more fiber and texture I also added black beans and some diced red onion. This recipe will definitely be a reoccurring favorite.
Jules, that sounds amazing! Love the addition of Greek yogurt, honey, and black beans—great way to tweak it to your taste. So glad it’s a new favorite!
