Oh. My. Goodness. This is our late night, need a snack now, what shall I eat, treat. Plain yogurt and cinnamon is perfect on its own or spooned onto pancakes, fruit or granola.

I add honey to ours, mostly. This simple snack or pudding is good on it's own but with honey, it's a whole other level!

What To Have With Cinnamon Yogurt

This can be put on loads of things. It's really like a sweet cinnamon sauce, which in this house makes it perfect for Apple pies and puddings. It's also pretty yummy when it's got granola sprinkled into it, and makes a lovely Clean eating filling breakfast.

Or...just snack on this as you like, like I do, with a few chopped walnuts thrown on top! :)

I sometimes make this yogurt up ahead of time so it's ready to come straight out of the fridge the next morning and be mixed. I use these glass yogurt pots when I do this. They're the perfect size and can go in the dishwasher.

Honey

You need to be a little bit careful with honey, as all honey's are not created equal. To keep things simple in my head, I put them into 2 categories. Raw honey and Store honey. Store honey being the one that mostly line the supermarket shelves that we all know.

I buy raw honey. I buy it locally and if I can't get any, we don't have it until I can.

Raw honey comes straight from the hive, through a strain and into a honey pot. Store honey can be pretty heavily processed before it's bottled. I say can be, because I know there are some honey manufacturers out there who's honey is better and less processed than others.

But...honey being something my family really love, I found it too confusing to try and decipher labels with ingredients I couldn't even pronounce let alone explain, and so we went Raw.

I should add, there's lots of people with lots of opinions about honey. Some are convinced Raw is the only one with any health benefits, other people say there's no difference between the two. And me? I just want to feed the kids food that's as close to it's natural state as possible, processed as little as possible and doesn't have sneaky additives put in. That's all :)
