For 1 serving
Slice the banana
Peel half a banana and slice it into even rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Arrange the slices neatly on a small plate or cutting board, ready for assembly into your yogurt bowl.
Assemble the yogurt bowl
In a small serving bowl, add 0.5 cup of Greek yogurt. Carefully arrange the pre-sliced banana pieces on top of the yogurt. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey evenly over the banana and yogurt, then finish by sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon across the entire dish.
TIPFor a creamier texture, ensure your Greek yogurt is full-fat and well-chilled before assembly.Serve immediately
Present the assembled Greek yogurt bowl as soon as it's prepared to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures. The banana will be firm and the yogurt cool, offering a delightful contrast.
