Pears have such a delicate flavor. Their combination with red wine gives high amounts of antioxidants, good enough to prevent aging, cancer and heart diseases!
In addition to that combination, yogurt and red wine provide phytoestrogens which have the potential to reduce breast cancer, prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease risks, and protect against osteoporosis (bone loss) and menopausal symptoms.
This dessert is really tasty, might be used as afternoon snack, super healthy for 260 calories!
