“Rainbow in a bowl” – Granola Fruit Salad

My quest to create decadent but healthy treats continues with this Granola & Fruit Salad recipe, a perfect combination of sweet and healthy.

  1. Fruits are high in Vitamins and anti-oxidants that help build your immune system.
  2. Chocolate containing over 70% cocoa is good for you, it lowers blood pressure and cholesterol.
  3. Granola is low in cholesterol and sodium and is a good source of fiber.

So this dessert wins the trifecta. :)

The list is endless, more information about the fruit you consume and their benefits can be found here.
