Even the eye wants its share: this oat, yogurt and fruit cup really looks like a dessert when prepared this way, fruit-parfait style, using a tall clear glass and layering the ingredients.
Of course this is just an example showing this oat cup with what I had available at home at the time I took the photos, but you can get creative and make it look like a different breakfast every day.
This recipe is ideal for dieting but also for anyone who loves to eat healthy and balanced. You can vary the fruit, and instead of rolled oats you can use buckwheat or quinoa flakes. If you prefer it thicker, you can strain the yogurt to make it firmer. Let’s make it.

Steps
Wash the fruit well, peel it if necessary and cut it into small pieces.
Mix the yogurt with 1 teaspoon of agave syrup.
Take a tall glass and start by putting some yogurt at the bottom, then some oats and some fruit.
Continue until the ingredients are used up, leaving some pieces of fruit for the top as decoration.
Finish by drizzling the second teaspoon of agave syrup on top and our oat, yogurt and fruit cup is ready to be enjoyed.
Here Maura, a dear reader of mine, prepared it in spring using strawberries and enriched it with chopped almonds: so delicious!
A little curiosity: this is the first recipe I published on my blog. I’ve revisited it many times but I think I’m finally satisfied now.
I look forward to you trying it and telling me if you liked it and what changes you made: leave me a comment below or in the Facebook club.
Enjoy!

Tips
In winter you can also add, instead of fresh fruit, a warm cooked apple cut into pieces and a bit of cinnamon… so tasty!
