It’s Better Breakfast Week, so why not kick start your day with this sweet and fruity granola recipe?
Most nutritionists agree that breakfast helps to boost performance, concentration and well being, yet many of us still seem to struggle with this important meal. The Better Breakfast Week aims to reverse the trend and demonstrate that, with some careful planning and the right ingredients, it is possible to tuck into a tasty and nutritious meal every morning.
Ingredients
700g TOTAL Classic Greek Yoghurt
100-120g Muscavado or soft dark brown sugar
2 bananas
Small handful of granola
½ tsp of lemon juice
2 fresh vanilla pods scraped
To serve – Small jam jars (or similar sized container)
Method
1. Sprinkle a little granola at the bottom of each jam jar.
2. Mix the yoghurt with the seeds, scraped from the vanilla pods.
3. Next thinly cover the granola with a layer of yoghurt - about a dessert spoon.
4. Dice the banana and toss it with the lemon juice. This will help prevent the banana from discolouring but also adds to the flavour.
5. Sprinkle the banana over the yoghurt in an even layer.
6. Next add another thin layer of yoghurt. Sprinkle over a third of the sugar and cover with the remaining yoghurt.
7. Cover with the rest of the sugar and put the lids on the jars (or cover with cling film).
8. Leave the jars for a minimum of three hours, allowing the sugar to caramalise on top of the yoghurt.
