Ingredients
One serving plain fat free greek yogurt1/4 to 1/3 cup raw oats 1 tbsp of honey1 tsp ground cinnamon Half fresh banana, sliced
I usually put everything into a bowl except the fruit, and mix thoroughly to flavor the yogurt with the cinnamon and honey. I then put the fruit on top and enjoy! The nutrition facts are based on my personal recipe for this, but you can modify in the following ways if you like:
You can substitute the yogurt for your favorite flavor or go low fat instead of no fat. The honey is probably not necessary if you choose to go with flavored yogurt, and since flavored yogurt tends to have additional calories I'd leave it out if you go that route. Cinnamon is also optional, though very good for you (especially to control blood sugar), so I advise it for flavor and health benefits.
Using the raw oats is important rather than store bought granola, which is loaded with sugar and really not very good for you. Between the fruit and yogurt, you really shouldn't need the additional sweetness of granola. The raw oats are much cheaper, great for you, and you can make oatmeal with them instead when you aren't in the mood for this!
Of course use whatever fruit you happen to like - I personally just like the subtle sweetness and texture of bananas for this.
