Here's a simple, easy, and tasty snack. All you need is a pear and some Greek or plain yogurt. I like to add a drop of vanilla extract for some added sweetness without the sugar. But it's super easy to make and has a nice sweet/tart flavor combo going on.

Pear's are also packed with beneficial vitamins and minerals like:
- Vitamin C which is an excellent antioxidant.
- Vitamin B2 (aka Riboflavin) which plays a crucial role in skin and muscle health and the production of red blood cells.
- Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin that is fantastic at boosting skin health.
- Potassium is important in maintaining muscle health and can even be helpful for those with high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Greek yogurt is a great, low-fat source of dairy that also contains a ton of protein, calcium, and probiotics needed in digestive health!
Happy Friday, everyone!
