Fresh Fruit and Yogurt—A Sweet Way to Start the Day!

Cooks' Note

For a quick but nutritious breakfast, prepare and mix the fruit the evening before and store overnight in the refrigerator. As long as you avoid such high-glycemic choices as banana, raisins, and pineapple, your options are unlimited—try different combinations of apple, berries, cherries, grapes, melon, orange, peach, plum, and tangerine.
