Yoghurt & Honey-Drizzled Granola

Good afternoon! It's a warm and sunny day here, and I've been getting into the habit of trying to eat healthily again. For today's afternoon snack, I wanted to avoid the chocolate and go for something better. So I played around with a few ingredients, and concocted an amazing mix of vanilla yoghurt and honey-drizzled granola. It can be made for a snack, for breakfast or a dessert!


What I used: 

  • Fat-free vanilla yoghurt
  • Asda Hawaiian Crunch Cereal - oat clusters with banana chips, raisins, dried pineapple, coconut, papaya and sunflower seeds
  • Clear set honey
  • Lemon juice
  • Raisins


First, I poured some yoghurt into a bowl and drizzled about 2 teaspoons of lemon juice into it. Next time I make this, I would add more lemon juice because it didn't affect the taste of the yoghurt much. I then poured some granola onto the yoghurt and drizzled it with honey. I love raisins, so I sprinkled some extra ones onto the top. 

And that's it! It takes about 2 minutes to prepare, and is perfect for any time of the day.

I hope this gives you some ideas about how to eat a healthier snack or breakfast. And remember, you can experiment with the ingredients you like to make your own healthy snacks!

I've had a few ideas...

I have a question for you... I've had a few ideas about where to go with this blog, and new types of posts I can write to fill the gaps when I'm not cooking anything worth posting. I've been doing research on things like different types of food, healthy eating and lifestyle. So I thought about transferring this research to my blog to share it with you. These are my ideas...

  • Records of the food I eat, over a certain amount of days
  • Tips, e.g. how to save money on food shopping, how to make unhealthy food healthier, etc.
  • Health benefits of particular foods
  • Things that aren't necessarily all about cooking, but do involve the food you eat. For example, how to be happy and stay positive. 

These kinds of things are the posts I've read online myself, and really inspired me. All I want to do is inspire you in the same way. So, what do you think?
