Ingredients
1/2 c Greek yogurt
Ingredients1/2 c Greek yogurt
(Fage is the best IMO)
1/4 c Bob's Red Mill granola

15 fresh pitted cherries.
This article calls cherries a "Super Fruit" for their inflammation and antioxidant property's. Here's a small exert; A recent study from the University of Michigan reveals new evidence linking cherries to heart health benefits.

All I know is it is Parfait Perfection!

Great idea for a pre race fueling meal, I'm going to give it a try!
I loved your comment, when you said you found yourself smiling after your run. I *love* it when that happens. You made ME smile when you said that!
Have a nice weekend :) !
Yummmm....my kind of snack/breakfast. I'll have to try the cherries. I usually have blueberries with my Fage.
