The flavor of this was very good, but it wasn't thick enough for me (but that is my personal preference) so I added some additional Greek yogurt. I like the fact that this is low fat without tasting like it. Will be making this again. Thanks for posting this Laura. Made for New Kid on the Block Tag.
