Will this taste equally good with any nut butter or coconut butter? I love it with regular yogurt though.
Love Ash.

@Veena- coconut yogurt tastes really delicious, thick and creamy!
@ Ash- Addition of nut butter would be nice.Since I am trying yo cut down on dairy, hence experimenting with dairy- free stuff!
@ Priya- Thanks!

That is so pleasing! The natural color of the beets made the whole recipe awesome! I would love to try this on wheat bread for a healthy weekend dinner. I also like the fact that this easy to do and doesn’t require a lot of time. This will be part of my weekend movie marathon plan!
