• 1 med. banana, peeled and cut into 12 slices
• 12 fresh strawberries
• 1/4 cup Grape-Nuts cereal
• 3 Tbsp. pecans, finely chopped and toasted

Combine the cereal nuggets and pecans; stir well, and set aside. Place the strawberries and banana slices on wooden picks; dip the fruit in the yogurt, coating halfway up the sides of the fruit pieces.

Roll the yogurt-coated portion of the strawberries and bananas in the cereal mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Cover and freeze for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until firm.
