Plum & Cinnamon Yogurt Bowl
A quick and nutritious breakfast bowl featuring creamy Greek yogurt, sweet plums, crunchy walnuts, and a warming hint of cinnamon, designed for a balanced start to your day.
For 1 serving
Wash and thoroughly dry the plums. Slice each plum in half, remove the pit, then cut into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces.
If using whole walnuts, roughly chop them into smaller pieces for easier eating and better distribution.
Spoon the Greek yogurt into a serving bowl. Spread it evenly across the bottom to create a base.
Artfully arrange the sliced plums over the yogurt, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Evenly sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the plums and yogurt for a warm, aromatic touch.
Scatter the chopped walnuts over the top, adding a delightful crunch and healthy fats.
If desired, drizzle with honey or maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures.
