Wholefood Tuesday
A five-minute breakfast for mornings when the fruit bowl is empty. Stir wheatgerm and a little honey into yoghurt, then layer with bran flakes and freeze-dried banana. Eat straight away for crunch, or keep the dry toppings separate until you’re ready.
Serves 2 · Vegetarian
Banana, honey & bran breakfast pots
Use two wide glasses, jars or breakfast bowls. This recipe uses freeze-dried banana slices, not fried banana chips.
Ingredients
- 300g thick natural yoghurt
- 20g organic wheatgerm with bran
- 2 tsp Wainwright’s set honey
- 80g organic bran flakes
- 20g freeze-dried banana slices, larger pieces broken in half
Method
- Mix the yoghurtPut the yoghurt, wheatgerm and honey in a bowl. Stir until evenly combined, pressing any firm pieces of set honey against the side of the bowl to help them blend in.
- Build the layersDivide half the yoghurt mixture between two glasses or bowls. Add half the bran flakes and half the banana slices. Spoon over the remaining yoghurt, then finish with the rest of the flakes and banana.
- Eat while crispServe straight away if you like a crunchy topping. For a softer texture, fold everything together and leave for 2–3 minutes before eating.
For one, or a smaller appetite
Halve every quantity for one breakfast. If the banana makes it sweet enough for you, leave out the honey. For smaller portions, divide the same mixture between three little pots.
Take it with you
Mix the yoghurt, wheatgerm and honey the evening before and keep covered in the fridge. Pack the bran flakes and banana in a separate dry container, then add just before eating. Keep the yoghurt chilled during transport. Reseal the wheatgerm after use and follow its pack storage instructions.
