Rachel's Yogurt

Has Rachel's Yogurt shown up yet in your grocery store? It is my new obsession. I've been trying to eat healthy and low-fat yogurt is a really good way to include dairy in my diet. But it has never been so much fun before! I discovered Rachel's Yogurt in my local Whole Foods and there were a whole bunch of interesting flavors.

The Essence Collection comes in flavors that inspire different moods:
Refresh: Pink Grapefruit Lychee
Glow: Berry Jasmine
Relax: Vanilla Chai
Calm: Plum Honey Lavender
Revive: Peach Green Tea
Vitality: Pomegranate Acai

The Exotic Collection is inspired by different world flavors:
Marionberry Guava
Kiwi Passion Fruit Lime
Cherry Black Currant
Mango Pineapple Passion Fruit
Pomegranate Bluebarry
Orange Strawberry Mango

As you can tell from the list above, it is like a little treat each time I go into the refrigerator and grab my daily yogurt. Which fun flavor will I get? They are all so unique and while I have still not tried them all yet, I have not tasted one that I do not like.

Banana Cream Pie for Breakfast

Health magazine's January/February 2007 issue features several healthy recipes that look really good (and easy to make). The recipe for Banana Cream Pie caught my eye when they featured it for breakfast. It's kind of like yogurt with granona and fruit, but calling it Banana Cream Pie makes is sound so much better.

The key to this is a good tasting vanilla yogurt, so make sure you get one you like. Their recipe calls for whole-grain graham crackers so I used regular low-fat honey graham crackers and it still tasted yummy.
