TRY IT TUESDAY!

And we're back!  It's beautiful outside, the grass is green, the birds are chirping--makes me want to move and groove outside all day.  Today I was looking for something a little bit lighter to post here for a try it recipe.  I was also looking for something that is easy and portable.  Knowing our Energy members, we are always on the move and having a healthy grab and go make ahead option is exactly what we need. 

I've always been a huge fan of yogurt.  It has a wonderfully sweet taste, it's filling and it's chock full of probiotics, protein and calcium---what a powerful trifecta of goodness.  What I like best about this recipe, is that it is merely a base and a foundation for countless variations.   My personal favorite always includes blueberries. 

SUPER YOGURT BReAKFAST BOWLS

Your yogurt base is 2 cups of whatever Greek yogurt you like.  As someone who is busy in life and working out, I prefer using full fat Greek yogurt--Chobani and Fage are my favorites.
