Healthy Yogurt Recipes

Zucchini season is in full swing and they’ve taken over the farmer’s markets! To pick out the best zucchini squash that’s bursting with flavor, choose the ones that aren’t too large – once they grow too big, their flavor diminishes. Zucchini is very high in complex carbohydrates, which is excellent for sustained energy production, as well as antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. To get the most nutrients, try steaming or lightly cooking the squashes instead of eating them raw.
