Healthy, because
Here apples provide for satiating pectins, minerals and vitamin C; cranberries provide plenty of plant substances for a well-functioning immune defence. Whey, for its part, makes you fit through potassium, magnesium, calcium and iodine, B vitamins and proteins.
Even smarter
Yoghurt is good, vanilla yoghurt is even better: firstly, it satisfies our quite natural appetite for sweets, and secondly, this combination of protein and flavourings has a positive effect on nerves and mind.
