Yum!
This is the perfect breakfast -- the fruit compliments the vanilla yogurt and the granola gives the entire treat a sweet crunch! Plus, it has all your basic vitamins and calcium + protein too! Try it with different combos of flavored or plain yogurt and fruits -- Plain yogurt flavored with honey, bananas, and Kashi cereal work well together. Enjoy!
