Call it a breakfast dessert, and your child will believe you. After all, you can never be too sneaky when it comes to getting kids to eat healthy foods. This is a great recipe for expecting moms, too. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (can use a combination of both) or 1 1/2 cups blackberries (can use a combination of both) |
1 ripe pear, cored and chopped |
1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt |
1 tablespoon finely chopped nuts or 1 tablespoon crushed granola cereal |
Directions:
1. Place a few tablespoons of berries in the bottom of four clear plastic cups or bowls, reserving a few berries for the top. Divide the chopped pears in equal amounts in the four servings, cover with equal parts of yogurt, and top with a sprinkling of nuts or granola. Add the extra berries for a final touch.
2. Makes 4 servings.
