What you need to make this dish:
Nutella
Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
Fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, blueberries, apples)
Graham crackers and marshmallows (optional)
To all you fellow Nutella lovers out there, I have just recently joined the club because of this dish. It is a simple recipe that you can whip up in about 3 minutes. Simply mix about 1/2 cup of Nutella with 1 cup of yogurt. Refrigerate until serving. Once your dip is chilled, you can enjoy it with some fresh fruit, such as strawberries, bananas, blueberries or apples. If you have a sweet tooth, graham crackers and marshmallows go well with it too.
Not only is this dish delicious,but it is also a somewhat healthy snack when paired with fresh fruit.
Professor Marty Glenn, a nutritionist
According the Hershey's and Nutella product websites, Nutella has less fat, calories and sodium than a Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar.
from the Health Sport & Exercise Department at the University of Kansas says that Nutella itself isn't significantly healthier than regular chocolate, but it is made with skim milk. Combining it with the non-fat Greek yogurt definitely makes the snack healthier.
Non-fat plain Greek yogurt has a thick creamy and tangy texture without the use of as much fat compared with regular yogurts. Greek yogurt is also higher in protein - another bonus.
Andrew Williams, a senior from Overland Park, says, "I have never tried Nutella before, but this recipe sounds very delecable.
over all the recipe sounds very detectable, especially paired with fruit and yogurt. I wasn't sure about the plain yogurt that was used, but it turned out to taste really good with the chocolate and hazelnut spread."

DRINK THIS...
Not a big fan of coffee? Drinking green tea is another way for you to get your caffeine fix instead of reaching for an unhealthy can of Red Bull.
"Green tea is my new obsession. It tastes great, has caffeine, and is good for you. I have switched to drinking tea instead of coffee because I feel like coffee makes me too jittery and hyper," says Lindsey Buck, a senior from St. Louis.

Professor Marty Glenn, a nutritionist from the Health Sport & Exercise Department at the University of Kansas says. "Green tea is probably the healthiest way
Studies show that green tea contains antioxidants, which help boost your immune system and fight off bad cells. The antioxidants in green tea are known as catechins, which help prevent several types of cancer, high cholesterol, weight gain, heart disease and strokes.
to get your caffeine for the day. It contains about 25 percent less caffeine than coffee, so about 25 to 50 mg." While this is less caffeine than coffee, it is still enough to give you a caffeine jolt. Not only does it keep you focused while studying, but it also has tremendous health benefits as well.
Glenn also says, "People with heart disease have been known to drink about two to four cups a day in order to keep those rates down."
So, start your day off with a cup of hot green tea—your body will thank you in the long run.
Cynthia Sass, a dietician from Shape magazine says, "Tea is tied to better bone density, slower bone loss, a stronger immune system and a reduction in belly fat. Regular tea drinkers also have a 20 to 30 percent lower risk of heart disease and 40 to 60 percent lower risk of stroke."

A problem area on defense for the Jayhawks is defending the perimeter, particularly the three-point line. Led by Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Scott Christopherson and Tyrus McGee, Iowa State leads the Big 12 in three-point field goals. White is also capable of knocking down three-pointers. This season, the Jayhawks have struggled with blocking three-point shots. Big 12 opponents have shot 122 three-point shots against the Jayhawks, which is the most in the conference.
The Cyclones are hungry to prove they belong amongst the Big 12's elite as well as in the NCAA Tournament field, so the Jayhawks should be prepared for the challenge.
For a team that has very thin depth and must count on their starters both offensively and defensively, the Jayhawks have little room for error.

be reuilted with the coach who recruited him to Notre Dame, Charlie Weis.
"To walk in the door and have a guy who carries himself the way Dayne does is good for everyone on the team," Weis said. "Plus, he's a resource for these guys to know who I am."
Crist was a five-star recruit.
according to rivals.com, and committed to Notre Dame and Weis his junior year of high school. Weis would only be around two years with Crist before he was fired in 2009.
"I feel so much more comfortable doing the things Coach Weis asks me to do," Crist said. "That's why I committed to him the first time at Notre Dame."
After redshirting a year and serving as Jimmy Clausen's backup in 2009, Crist became the starter for the Fighting Irish in 2010. He started nine games and threw for 2033 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions before a ruptured left patella tendon ended his season.
In 2011, Crist won the starting job but was benched after completing seven of 15 pass attempts in the first half of the season opener.
"I don't think you can look at anything that has happened with

Dayne Crist in the past two years," Weis said. "As far as I'm concerned, it's null and void. I knew what I had two years ago when I left there, and I'm fired up to have him now."
At Kansas, Crist is able to play immediately because he still had one year of eligibility when he graduated from Notre Dame.
Crist's narrowed his decision to Wisconsin and Kansas before choosing Kansas. Weis's relationship with Crist was a factor in his decision.
"When I started thinking about leaving and taking my fifth year elsewhere, he was the first person I called," Crist said. "He was always supportive first and never gave biased answers."
Crist will only be able to play at Kansas for one season, but he hopes his effect can last longer than that. The football program will try to recover from a stretch where it has lost 26 of its last 29 games, including its last 12 conference games.
He really had my best interest in mind at all times."
