Strawberries and Cream
On weekends, I occasionally like to treat myself to dessert. If you’ve never made whipped cream from scratch before, you’re in for a treat! One of my favorite ways to lighten whipped cream is to whip it up and fold it in some Greek yogurt. It gives it a slight tang, which is wonderful with fruit, and cuts down on the fat and calories. Perfect for a quick and easy dessert, or try them in crepes or on Yogurt Waffles.
The creamy 0% Fat Greek yogurt is the perfect choice if you’re trying to reduce your fat intake. Plus, it’s high in protein and has live active cultures.
How to Make Yogurt Whipped Cream:
All you’ll need to make yogurt whipped cream is a hand mixer and these four ingredients:
Sugar
Chilled whipping cream
Pure vanilla extract
Fat-free plain Greek yogurt
Put the sugar, vanilla, and chilled whipping cream in a bowl. Using a hand mixer, whisk at medium speed for two to three minutes until the cream reaches stiff peaks. Then, fold or whisk in the yogurt for about 15 seconds until incorporated.
What to Eat with Whipped Cream
This yogurt whipped cream is so good with strawberries, but if they’re not in season, serve it over another fruit like bananas, raspberries, or peaches.
It would be delicious on top of pies, crumbles, waffles, and more.
You could also use the healthy whipped cream in any recipe that called for regular whipped cream

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

How One Neurology Book Changed the Way I Understand the Human Mind
Reading “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” Made Me Question What It Means to Be a Person I picked up The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat thinking it would just be one of those clever science books. You know, the kind that explains how the brain works and throws in a few strange cases. I wasn’t really prepared for how weirdly emotional it would feel. Not in a dramatic way. More like the kind of feeling that sits with you quietly while you’re reading.
