Organic Vanilla Yoghurt Indulged with Mixed Berries


Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season finding a moment to breathe, much less eat something healthy is about as possible as Santa and his reindeer crashing your work party. But, it is possible to beat the odds with just a couple of minutes of planning, a Tupperware-like container (for the odds on finding a matching lid, see the above Santa analogy), and a spoon and you’re good to go! This healthy snack is low cal, but high on protein. Almonds of course add a lot of calories here so feel free to substitute a low fat granola if you like or just pile on more berries!

½ Cup of Vanilla Yoghurt (I like the Organic* Vanilla from Trader Joes)
¼ Cup of Frozen and Thawed Berries (TJ’s wins again here. They have great mixed frozen berries: Blackberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries!)
Sprinkling of raw, sliced, and unsalted almonds (Granola is great on this too!)
Sprinkling of Clover Honey
