Notes

Nutrition info is for a brekkie mug with 1 tablespoon of almond butter and 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yoghurt.

Swap the strawberries for other berries, diced peach, plum, cherries or grated apple.

Try adding a teaspoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseed for extra fibre, especially if you’re serving it with Greek yoghurt.

For an apple strudel version, use mashed banana, grated apple, cinnamon and a few chopped walnuts.

For a berry-almond version, use blueberries or raspberries, and top with almond butter and Greek yoghurt.
