Greek Yogurt with Warm Blueberry Sauce PointsPlus 3

Ingredients

2 cup(s) fresh blueberries
2 Tbsp sugar, granulated
2 Tbsp water
1/2 tsp lemon zest, grated, or more to taste (plus extra for garnish)
1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
1 pinch table salt
 3 cup(s) fat-free plain Greek yogurt  

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar and water; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries burst and cook down into a purple sauce, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Remove sauce from heat and stir in lemon zest, lemon juice and salt; let cool to warm. (If not using right away, transfer to a container, cover and refrigerate until serving. Reheat before serving.)

To serve, spoon yogurt into small bowls; top with warm berry sauce and swirl sauce into yogurt. Yields 1/2 cup yogurt and about 1/4 cup sauce per serving.



Notes
Frozen blueberries can be used in place of fresh blueberries – especially when they are not in season. Just add a few minutes to the sauce cooking time.

A sprinkling of toasted almonds would be a nice addition to this recipe (could affect PointsPlus values).

If you really love lemon, spoon some lemon zest into the yogurt and also use some as a garnish.Share This Recipe!
