Petit Foodie

This weekend I tried a new Greek yogurt that I absolutely love!  Dannon Greek Yogurt!!  I was so suprised this tasted so wonderful.  The texture and taste are perfect!  Its creamy and has a woderful subtle tangy taste.  I highly suggest giving it a try.  The only gripe I have is that it is just as expensive as Onkios, which is organic.  But Dannon provides a great alternative when organic is not available.

Greek yogurt with fresh berries and homemade granola = pure heaven

Ava rediscovered her love for Pink grapefruit this weekend!! yayayyaya!!  We love pink grapefruit!!  It suprises people that she will eat foods that most childern will shun.  I credit this to introducing these foods to her at a very young age!  If you keep putting new foods in front of them and repeat. repeat repeat. they will eventually eat it.

Also, on the agenda this weekend was making some wonderful trail mix!  This is a quick and simple snack to throw together and have it in your purse or at your desk.  It’s super healthy and will hold you over for hours! 

Delectable Trail Mix

1/3 Cup nuts of your choice (my faves, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and cashews)

1/3 cup Dried fruit (cranberries, apricots (mmmm), raisins)

1/4 cup dried coconut (unsweetened)

1/4 cup dark choc. chips

Throw into a container.  Give a little shake to mix.  Happy Snacking!

Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start.
