As much as I like a big, cooked breakfast; when the summer
starts rolling in the last thing we feel like when we wake up is a stomach full of
heavy, hot food. That’s why over the next few weeks I’ll be putting together
some delicious, light and easy to rustle up recipes for you to try out at home
in the warmer months.
This breakfast fruit parfait is ridiculously easy, very healthy
and filling. What’s more it takes about five minutes to make and has a rather
fun element of creativity to it – sort of like being a food stylist, which I
think you’ll agree sounds like the best job ever. Admittedly there is a limited
amount of culinary skills required, it’s all in the presentation. If you have
an impromptu early morning guest you wish to dazzle with your prowess at
whipping up quick and satisfying meals – look no further.
You can use
any fruit you like for this recipe. That’s the beauty of it. I like a classic
strawberry and blueberry parfait, although for a more summery option you could
try melon and grape. Or go all out with peach and a passion fruit coulis.
Ingredients:
Low fat
yoghurt
Fresh
strawberries
Fresh blue
berries
Muesli (I
opt for the low sugar variety)
You will
need:
A fancy
glass to construct it in. I went for a jam jar, I felt it was rustic although
if you were feeling glam maybe you could try a martini glass. The kitchen
cabinet is your oyster. Go wild. Experiment.
Method:
1.
Chop your fruit into little chunks.
2.
(This is the fun part) Layer up your muesli,
yoghurt and fruit. I went for muesli, yoghurt, strawberry, muesli, yoghurt and
blueberries on top, but it’s not exactly a precise art.
Serve and
enjoy. So simple, so easy.
