Did you know that dairy blocks the absorption of many healthful compounds? It reduces flavanol absorption from berries, phytonutrient absorption from tea, and more! This dairy-free yogurt sauce is made with vegan Greek-style almond yogurt for additional plant-based protein. However, any variety of yogurt will work.
This easy sauce has so much flavor. It is made with fresh garlic, but garlic powder also works in a pinch! Did you know that garlic powder also boosts artery function? It does not have to be fresh to have benefits!
