Shop-bought breakfast pots are an enticing option when you’re on
the move, but they’re quick and easy to make at home. Once you’ve chosen you’re
fruits – I went for mango, strawberries and blueberries – and your container,
the layers stack up as pretty as a picture. They taste delicious, too…
Nutrition low-down
- Fruit
is an excellent source of vitamin C and fibre.
- Fat-free
Greek yogurt is a good source of protein, which helps to keep hunger pangs at
bay.
-
Oats are a slow-release carbohydrate, so you’re less likely to suffer from a
mid-morning energy crash
The ingredients (to make 2 pots)
4tbsp
oats (if you want to use muesli or granola instead of oats, or a mixture, look
for one that’s free from added sugar)
6tbsp fat-free Greek yogurt
1 mango, thinly sliced
6 strawberries, thinly sliced
2tbsp no-added-sugar granola
1 handful blueberries
Fresh mint sprigs to decorate (optional)
The method
Combine the oats and yogurt in a small bowl, then divide half the
mixture between 2 tumblers (or lidded containers if you plan to have breakfast
on the go). Top with half the sliced mango slices, then all of the
strawberries. Repeat the oat mixture and mango layers, then sprinkle over the
granola and top with the blueberries. Cover with clingfilm (or the lids) and chill
in the fridge overnight. The next day, decorate with a mint sprig, if you like,
before serving.
How did I rate it?
Leaving the oats to soak overnight gives them time to soften and absorb
the flavours of the yogurt and fruit. Delicious. I would definitely recommend
trying this recipe if you struggle to find the time to make a healthy breakfast
in the morning. All you need to do is take it out the fridge and dig in, which
is definitely more nutritious – not to mention cheaper – than grabbing
something unhealthy on the go!
