A Healthy But Satisfying Breakfast (or snack).

I have an extremely sweet tooth and I'm terrible for snacking which is why I'm always happy when I find a cheap and easy recipe for healthy snacking.

Now I don't count healthy as purely low-calorie. This isn't particularly low-calorie but it's good energy food an dis packed full of nutrients.
The base of honey and low fat yoghurt can be adapted suit any taste.
