Go Nuts For Yogurt!!!


I was thinking about the old Mounds versus Almond Joy commercials and was somewhat inspired. I happen to love Almond Joy's but I wanted to make my 220 calories  a lot more healthy, so here's what I came up with!!

I first started with coconut flavored greek yogurt. I chose Yoplait here but I also like Dannon Light & Fit which has about 30 less calories to worry about.

*Greek yogurt has become very popular with its double protein content and thicker consistency over regular yogurt. It also is high in calcium which is great for bones and teeth but also your heart and nerves. The live and active cultures are also an excellent way to maintain probiotic (bacteria in your tummy) health.*

 


I next opened a 100 calorie pack of Emerald natural almonds and counted them. There were 15 almonds inside so deeming this package 100 calories would mean that each almond is about 6.67 calories. Total calories =6.67x7, 46.69 or 47 for 7 almonds.

 





I then just simply crushed the 7 almonds  (I wanted the almond content to be 50 calories or less) in a plastic sandwhich bag. My Fisk University mug worked rather well since I did not have a rolling pin handy.





For the the addition of chocolate I used one Hershey kiss which has a calorie content of 25.



 The Hershey kiss was crushed in a plastic sandwhich bag as well.
Next just mix all of the ingredients together!!!


 


Enjoy!!!!!!! 


Full calorie content: Coconut Greek Yogurt: 110
            7 Almonds: 47
                   1 Hershey Kiss: 25

                                             Total: 182
