pomegranate pecan yogurt
With all the Christmas cookies and treats going around, now is the time to start the day on a lighter note.  This yogurt cup is almost entirely healthy with just a hint of spiced decadence (it is the holidays, after all!) This makes the perfect pairing for chai tea and gift-wrapping. Happy holidays!
