Imagine a hot summer’s day. Choose from any of the possible scenarios; could it be that you’re working from home and just had lunch?, or finished pruning the garden at mid-day?, or just come back from an intense workout?, or the kids are on holiday and you need to get their tummies full before dinner?, or you’re hosting a lovely summer themed brunch?, picnic in the park?, or are you having a quiet night in on a Friday evening with your spouse or movie night with the girls?!

Whatever the occasion, this recipe has you covered. And the best part is, it’s super simple! I have made it so many times now, I can literally whip a cup up in my sleep. I’m serious 😂. And every time I’ve made it, all I hear are the smacking lips and licked fingers. The oohs and aahs! It’s a definite staple in my home.

I get all my ingredients from the shops, Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury’s Morrison’s, Farmers Market. Wherever you find fruits, you’re good. And seeing strawberries are in season and more abundant in the UK during the summer, I find that I make this more in the summer months.

Summer Fruits Yoghurt- Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 pack of 500g red ruby Strawberries, or any regular. Washed, de-stalked and halved.

Additional Ingredients

• Store bought muesli (mixture of raisins, oats, coconut shavings). can also come with additional dry fruits like raspberries, bananas, apples and strawberries. I would not recommend packs with dry fruits as it waters down the richness of the fresh fruits we’d use to make this compote.
