This is less a recipe than a useful breakfast pattern: something creamy, something fresh and something that adds a little texture. You can use the same approach with different fruit and toppings throughout the week without buying a new product for each variation.

Let's make it.

  1. Spoon the yoghurt into a wide bowl.
  2. Add the banana and berries to one side rather than stirring everything together.
  3. Sprinkle over the muesli or oats.
  4. Finish with seeds or nuts if appropriate, and a little cinnamon if you like.
  5. Eat straight away while the toppings retain their texture.

Make it your own.

  • Choose muesli by its ingredient list and your taste, not the loudest front-of-pack claim.
  • Use whichever seasonal fruit looks good; there is no need to buy several varieties.
  • For allergies, check the label of every packaged topping.

Storing and food safety

Assemble immediately before serving. Keep opened yoghurt refrigerated and follow the label’s instructions and use-by date.

Times are estimates and equipment varies. Read labels for allergens, follow food-safety directions and make suitable substitutions for your needs. Recipes are editorial suggestions, not personalised nutrition advice.
