Ice cream substitute

I love my Breyers vanilla ice cream, but when I need to fulfill that craving, I turn to the potent combination of plain Greek yogurt, agave nectar and cinnamon. The agave nectar lends the sweetness and the thick yogurt gives this dessert some heft.

Agave is derived from a plant and is a good sugar substitute because it has a low-glycemic index, which means it won't cause a sharp rise or fall in blood sugar. Agave is also said to have health benefits like anti-inflammatory properties as well as an immune-system boost.

Really though, this yogurt treat is simply delicious. That's all you really need to know.
