Today we are stoked to share RADrabbit Monique Bienvenue's recipe for lemon delight granola parfait. Not only is Monique an awesome runner with big goals (P.S. she just PR'd last weekend by 7 minutes in the half-marathon), but she is just an all-around awesome chick. She is doing some amazing work in encouraging families and educators to adopt a healthier lifestyle through the Power Your Lunchbox Campaign. Make sure to give her a follow on instagram, her handle is modeezy101.
We can't wait to dig into this parfait after our long run this weekend!
