Being Greek and all, I obviously grew up with, and love Greek yoghurt. It is creamy and thick and not as sour as many other types of yoghurt. You can use it in meals, on the side of meals, as a snack or as a desert. It is proving to be a great option for Missy as well, as it is sweet enough for her to enjoy, without any added sugar or weird ingredients.
So the other day I decided to make a breakfast for the whole family to enjoy. I use the term 'make' very loosely, as it was basically putting ingredients in a bowl together. Still, it tastes good, its healthy and it is so very easy. The idea came from one of my favourite (and some of my Uni firends' favourite) deserts that my mum often used to make for dinner parties. She called it 'Yoghurt and Honey' and it was pretty much it: Greek yoghurt, whisked cream and honey mixed together, then topped with walnuts. This is the breakfast equivalent.
Serves 2 plus baby
500g Greek Yoghurt (Total, if you want to buy a Greek product, but the UK supermarket ones are pretty good and much cheaper)
2-3 tbs of clear honey (preferably thyme honey, as its is less strong in flavour)
1 banana, finely sliced
2 tbs walnuts, coarsely chopped
Serve the yoghurt into 3 bowls (2 normal servings and a small serving for baby). Top with slices of banana over each bowl. Drizzle the honey over the bowls, but if baby in under the age of one don't add any honey to their portion. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts (I didn't add any walnuts to hers, as she didn't have teeth at the time - does now!). Enjoy.
