Creamy Blueberry-Jalapeño Sauce {Yoghurt Recipe}

I love all of the fresh produce that spring + summer bring - the bright colors are gorgeous and I can't help but smile to see all that beautiful produce being enjoyed by my kiddos! I was finally able to wrangle hide a handful of blueberries from the munchkins to create this exquisite Creamy Blueberry-Jalapeño Sauce. {oh yes, blueberries and jalapeños together!} This is a simple yoghurt recipe that only requires a handful of ingredients but still packs a punch of delicious flavor. This sauce is initially sweet tasting and then the heat hits and leaves you with a sweet warm feeling in your mouth. I think it's amazing. Plus, it's fun to have a bright purple sauce to spread/dip with! {right?!?}

Our family uses yoghurt as a main source of protein, which means it is imperative that the yoghurt I purchase is that of premium quality. Mountain High Yoghurt uses no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is made from rbST-free milk - making it the top choice to serve my family. Another reason I like Mountain High Yoghurt is that their yoghurt contains live and active cultures {which support overall wellness}, whereas most yoghurt brands only contain starter cultures. And I gotta admit, the fact that Mountain High yoghurt is 'cultured in the cup' is pretty neat - the milk gets converted into yoghurt {by the good bacteria} while in the cup {not before being poured into the cups}. This yoghurt has a seriously thick and creamy texture - which makes it a perfect substitute for sour cream, mayonnaise and butter!

We enjoyed this simple yoghurt recipe over cilantro-lime chicken burgers + melted monterey jack cheese, on toasted sourdough rolls with green leaf lettuce. The cilantro-lime chicken burger ingredients are just 1lb ground chicken, juice of 2 limes and 10 chopped sprigs of cilantro and salt & pepper to taste.
