Ingredients
½ medium ripe banana, mashed
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup plain non-fat yogurt
½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
½ cup bran and wheat flakes cereal
Directions
Combine the mashed banana and vanilla extract with the plain yogurt in a small bowl. Stir until well blended, ensuring there are no banana lumps.
Pour a portion of the vanilla-banana yogurt mixture into the bottom of a 10 to 12 ounce glass.
Add a layer of sliced fresh strawberries over the yogurt mixture.
Sprinkle a portion of the bran and wheat flakes cereal over the strawberries.
Repeat the layering process—yogurt mixture, strawberries, then cereal—until all ingredients are used and the glass is filled.
Serve immediately while the cereal is still crisp and enjoy.
Comments
This is a genuinely quick assembly—no cooking, no prep tricks hidden in the method—and all five ingredients are always stocked at every major Charlotte chain, making it a true grab-and-go breakfast or snack. The cost per serving runs under two dollars even with name-brand yogurt and fresh fruit, and it reheats poorly but honestly doesn't need to since it's eaten immediately. The only real weakness is portion control: a single-serving designation might leave a hungry teenager or adult wanting more, making it better suited as a component of breakfast than a standalone meal.
