Three Healthy, Delicious and Easy to Prepare Recipes

Sometimes the simplest recipes can be just as satisfying as the recipes that take you all day to create. I have created three simple, healthy and delicious recipes that anyone can prepare. Let's face it we don't always have the time nor the desire to make time-consuming meals with the time-consuming clean-up that goes along with it. Each recipe should not require more than twenty minutes of your time to prepare. Should you decided to make all three recipes in one day you would have breakfast, lunch and dinner all prepared in under one hour total. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do.

Breakfast

Ingredients:
1 small 8oz container of low-fat French Vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup of fresh blueberries
1/4 cup of fresh raspberries
Drizzle of raspberry flavored Honey

To Prepare:
In a small mixing bowl combine the yogurt and fresh fruit being careful not to crush the berries.
Once combined spoon into a parfait glass, drizzle with honey and top with the almonds.
