Layered together is: 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt sweetened with 1 teaspoon of honey, ½ cup granola, and add ½ cup frozen and fresh blueberries and strawberries, for a refreshing finale. Enjoy!
3. Crackers with Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread and Banana
Smear a chocolate-hazelnut spread (yes, Nutella is acceptable!), on two crispy bread crackers. Make sure that they are evenly spread so that the chocolate taste will blend in right with the crackers. For the finishing touch, add 3 slices of banana for a flavor which is bound to be subdued and sweet.

Skipping the pre-made packets for a homemade version would be the best choice. With a combination of ½ cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk or water based on your preference, a pinch of salt, makes a delicious bowl of oatmeal.

6.Hawaiian Wrap
One of the most zesty and savoury wraps out there. This wrap is a combination of ¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp. white wine vinegar, and ½ tsp. caraway seeds in a small bowl.

creamy yogurt mixture and roll up in a whole-wheat wrap.
