Such a great way to start a day. Granola cups have been my go-tos for a long time now, not to say about smoothies. So I am really excited to try what you can make with Dannon!
Byron Thomas says:
These granola cups look amazing! I can’t wait to try them, but I must wait. The Greek yogurt you’re using, the toasted coconut one, we can’t get those in Canada. We usually drive across the border into Buffalo, NY, and stock up on those from Walmart. LOL. Once we go again, which will be in a week or two, I’ll pick up some and make your recipe.
GUNJAN C Dudani says:
Love the granola cups. They look so perfect and delicious. I ma definitely making them over the weekend when I have guests visiting me for breakfast. The smoothie is definitely hydrating and its going to be post workout beverage tomorrow.
Choclette says:
Oh what fun your granola cups are. I often make energy bites, but I boringly just form them into balls. Never thought to fill them with something. Fab idea.
Ramona says:
