Berry Breakfast

Yeo Valley are my favourite plain yoghurts. At the moment our fridge has around six of the 150g individual pots, 3 or 4 500g pots and the handy-fridge-door size aka 'the bucket'. The yoghurts are rich, creamy and ... full fat. I don't do low fat yoghurt. Not often anyway. I'd rather enjoy my food. Eat food as it's meant to be eaten. If you want fewer calories then have less!

Plain yoghurts are higher in protein than sweetened versions and I believe I feel full for longer too. I enjoy Yeo Valley just as they are. They are delicious. But, sometimes to liven it up I'll add some berries. My favourite fresh berries would be strawberries - chopped into chunks. The creamy yoghurt makes the strawberries seem sweeter and somehow the berries make the yoghurt even creamier. Gorgeous! We don't always have berries in the fridge though, and they're not always in season. So, the next best thing is frozen berries.

Grab your preferred amount from the freezer. They are only about 33 calories per 100g so no need to skimp. Then either leave them in the fridge overnight - out on the counter for about an hour - or microwave on low power for a minute or two. Pour them over your yoghurt and that's it.

I often take a small pot to work with a little box of berries straight from the freezer and they're ready to eat by the time I get to the office!

Berries from the freezer - Yum!
