Snack and Inspiration

Head to the fridge, ladies, I've fallen in love with a new snack/meal that hits the spot and I DON'T feel guilty about! You'll need the following:

2 lb tub of Brown Cow Cream Top yogurt (It's VERY important to get the cream top...SOOOOOO good)
Small container of raspberries or blackberries or both!
Almond and flax granola
Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Rinse the berries and dump 'em into a bowl. Stir the yogurt well and pour 1/3 to 1/2 of the container of yogurt on top. Fill the rest of the bowl with granola and chocolate chips. Stir and EAT!

The chocolate and the rich creaminess of the yogurt makes it feel like I'm eating some sort of dessert and, although it probably does pack on the calories, there are a lot of nutritional benefits. The berries and dark chocolate are full of antioxidants, I'm getting vitamin D and probiotics from the yogurt, and fresh berries and granola give me fiber. As far as I'm concerned, that outweighs the caloric intake...

So, sit back with your bowl of yum, grab a tissue, and read the following blog. Be sure to pass it along, it needs to be read.
