Healthy, because

Even smarter

Cherries and yogurt both provide nutrients that have a lot of health benefits. Cherries are full of vitamins and minerals while yogurt contains a lot of protein. The brownies are the only part of this recipe that is not glowing with healthy components, but it is always important to keep a balanced diet and treat yourself every once in a while. 

If you don't want to eat that much sugar, you can omit the brownies and just eat the cherries and yogurt. You can also substitute other fruits for the cherries.
