My Everyday Granola & Yoghurt Bowl

18th August 2024

This is my favourite way to start off my meals! It's an easy, delicious way to pack in multiple fruits and essential nutrients, making it the perfect choice for a balanced breakfast. It’s packed with protein, healthy fats, and gut-friendly bacteria and offers a generous amount of fibre—a vital nutrient we often overlook.

  • Strawberries, Blueberries and Blackberries

  • Grapes (my favourite are the black sweet grapes)

  • Mango, when in season
