When I have very little time in the morning or don’t feel like preparing anything, muesli with yogurt and fruit is the best choice for me! It’s quick to make, vegan, and also light, obviously if you use a muesli without added fats and sugars like my homemade version: homemade light muesli. I usually prepare two large jars and then in the morning, it takes 2 minutes, and I can eat.
I often vary the fruit I use in the muesli with yogurt, and it depends on the season. I always try to use fruit that is very sweet on its own, so I don’t need to add more sweeteners. Typically in winter, I use banana, grapes, orange, or pear, and in summer strawberries, peaches, apricots, plums. When it’s cherry time, it’s a celebration!
I made this one a few days ago with a pear that was looking at me sadly…but then it turned out to be very sweet. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon and had a breakfast to lick my lips for! Let’s take a look at the quantities because there are no real steps…

Ingredients
- 1.4 oz homemade sugar-free muesli (or equivalent in WW points)
- 1/2 cups soy yogurt (plain, no sugar, like Alpro or Valsoia)
- fresh fruit (1 large fruit or 2 small ones)
- to taste ground cinnamon (optional)
- Points per serving = 6 WW points
Tools
- Plate
- Knife
- Spoon
Steps
Well, the only thing you’ll need to do is to weigh the muesli and yogurt correctly, clean the fruit you’ve chosen and cut it into pieces.
Then put yogurt and muesli on the plate, I left them separate for a prettier photo, but I often mix everything together before adding the fruit. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon or even a bit of cocoa, not too much, otherwise, you’ll need to count the Weight Watchers points, and our muesli with yogurt and fruit is ready to be enjoyed!
Here I have some summer variations, in the first photo peach, raspberries, and blueberries, and in the second apricots and yellow plums. A delight!
Try making this breakfast and let me know if you liked it…
Enjoy!

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What other yogurt can I use?
You can use any yogurt you like, but it’s important that it doesn’t have added sugars or fats. Among plant-based options, I recommend soy yogurt because it provides some protein, while almond or oat doesn’t. Of course, if you’re not following a vegan diet, you can also use regular or Greek yogurt, fully skimmed and sugar-free, same weight, the Weight Watchers points won’t change.
Can I use store-bought muesli?
Sure you can, but in my experience, finding a muesli without added sugars and/or fats is difficult. Here in the Netherlands, some products are starting to appear in supermarkets, but they are generally very expensive. Making sugar-free muesli at home is much more economical, even if you have to buy the ingredients separately, and you can prepare it in 5 minutes! If you buy ready-made muesli, you’ll need to calculate the WW points for 40g using this tool: WW points calculator.
Can I use milk?
Of course, I sometimes use milk too, either soy or almond. Again, I’d recommend checking the WW points for 140ml of milk, although they shouldn’t change much.
