Receta Recipes from Dannon
I'm copying a few recipes from The Dannon Kitchen so I can toss the (what do you call those? the foil seals from the top of the yogurt containers?) - anyway, so I can get those off my kitchen counter.
A couple recipes I want to try:
Banana Nut Winter Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 1 banana, frozen
- 1 cup Dannon® All Natural Vanilla Lowfat Yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. honey (optional)
- 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
Directions:
Cut the frozen banana into 3 or 4 chunks and peel. Place in blender with Dannon® All Natural Vanilla Lowfat Yogurt, walnuts, cinnamon and honey (optional).
Blend on high for 2 minutes or until smooth. Pour into glass and top with a dusting of ground nutmeg.
Creamy Sweet Potato Soup
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1 large sweet onion, sliced
2 tsp. ground cumin
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1-1/2 qt. chicken broth
1-3/4 cup Dannon® Plain Yogurt
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley or cilantro
1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
Directions:
In a soup pot heat oil. Add onions and cumin and sauté 3-4 minutes. Add potatoes and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer soup 20-25 minutes.
Puree soup with 1-1/2 cups Dannon® Plain Yogurt and parsley or cilantro. Serve each portion of soup with a dollop of remaining yogurt and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.
and a recipe I've tried:
Layered Mexican Dip
Ingredients:
1 16 oz. can refried beans or black beans
1 cup chunky salsa
2 cups DANNON® All Natural Plain Yogurt
1 cup sliced olives (black or green)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
Directions:
In a bowl, combine beans with 1/3 cup salsa. Spread half of mixture into a flat serving dish.
Spread 1 cup DANNON® All Natural Plain Yogurt over the bean mixture, followed by 1/2 cup olives, 1/3 cup salsa, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 cup lettuce.
Repeat layering. Cover and chill until ready to use.
I liked the dip. I think everyone else would rather I made my regular Taco Dip, but it's good to have options. Also, while looking up these recipes, I saw several other recipes I'd like to try. So many good-looking recipes on that Dannon Kitchen site...
