PREPARATION
- Slice The Peach: Wash and slice the peach into thin wedges. Ensure the slices are even for a more consistent bite.
- Spoon The Greek Yoghurt: Place the Greek yoghurt in a small serving bowl or plate. Spread it out slightly to create a bed for the peach slices. Greek yoghurt adds a creamy, rich texture to the snack.
- Arrange The Peach Slices: Neatly place the peach slices on top of the Greek yoghurt, fanning them out for an appealing presentation and even distribution of fruit in each bite.
- Drizzle With Honey: Drizzle the Honey over the peach slices and yoghurt. This adds a natural sweetness that complements the yoghurt’s tanginess and the peaches’ mild flavour.
- Sprinkle The Granola: Add a sprinkle of granola on top to provide a satisfying crunch and additional fibre. Choose a granola with low sugar content to keep the snack healthy.

TIPS
- Use Ripe Peaches: Ripe peaches will be juicier and tastier, which enhances the taste of this snack. If fresh peaches are unavailable, you can replace them with canned peaches, but make sure they’re in natural juice and not syrup.
- Choose Full-Fat Greek Yoghurt For Creaminess: Full-fat Greek yoghurt adds richness to the dish without significantly increasing the calorie count. If you prefer a lighter option, low-fat or fat-free Greek yoghurt works too, but it may lack the same creamy texture.
- Use honey Sparingly: If you prefer a less sweet snack, reduce the amount of honey or replace it with a sugar-free syrup alternative.
- Customise Your Granola: Choose a granola with nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for extra texture and nutrients. You can even make your granola mix at home to have more control over ingredients.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Option: Replace Greek yoghurt with a dairy-free alternative like almond or coconut yoghurt, and swap honey with agave nectar or maple syrup to keep the snack vegan.
- Add Protein: Include a tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp seeds to boost plant-based protein and omega-3s.
- Boost Fibre: Add a handful of fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries for extra fibre and antioxidants.
- Nut Allergy-Friendly: Use nut-free granola or add sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nutty crunch without the risk of allergies.
- Indulgent Twist: Drizzle a small amount of melted dark chocolate over the peaches and yoghurt for a dessert-like treat that’s still relatively healthy.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- In The Fridge: If preparing this snack in advance, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. For best results, store the granola separately and add it just before serving to maintain its crunch.
- Freezing: This snack does not freeze well due to the yoghurt and fresh peach. For optimal texture and taste, prepare and consume it fresh.
