Traditional Yiaourti Me Meli.
Greek Yogurt with Honey or Yiaourti Me Meli is a traditional Greek dessert that beautifully combines the creamy richness of thick Greek yogurt with the natural sweetness of honey. This simple yet indulgent treat is often sprinkled with walnuts, for added texture and flavor. It is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits. Greek yogurt is rich in protein, probiotics, and calcium, supporting muscle repair, gut health, and bone strength. Honey adds a natural sweetness along with antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, making it a healthier alternative to refined sugar.

Together, this trio creates a balanced snack or dessert that boosts energy, supports overall health, and satisfies sweet cravings in a wholesome way.
