I couldn’t wait to make this recipe once I found lovely cherries at St Georges market, I had been craving a cherry choc combo for a while so reeeally enjoyed this, especially as the weather was lovely too. This is what I mean by enjoying a healthier meal without it needing to be celery or kale based. I looove yogurt and granola but find it hard to source good granola so instead I make it myself and I sweetened the dish naturally by adding cherries into my organic yogurt and only 1 tablespoon of maple for the batch of granola, boom! Healthy and tasty!

Plus I love that this cherry yogurt version has actualcherries in it rather than “cherry flavour”. It looks and tastes amazing, so you can easily impress your non healthy eating friends!
