TIPS

• Choose Ripe Peaches: Opt for soft and aromatic peaches that are easy to slice and naturally sweet.

• Use Full-Fat Yoghurt: For a creamier, more satisfying texture, use full-fat or Greek-style plain yoghurt.

• Portion Smart: Use small jars or containers for easy on-the-go servings and pre-portioned snacks.

VARIATIONS

• Flavour Twist: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla to the yoghurt for added depth.

• Protein Boost: Mix in a scoop of protein powder or use high-protein Greek yoghurt to support muscle recovery.

• Sweetener Option: Drizzle with honey or agave syrup for a slightly sweeter flavour.

• Fruit Swaps: Substitute the peach with nectarines, mango slices or fresh berries for seasonal variations.

• Seed Alternatives: Use chia seeds, flaxseeds or pumpkin seeds for different nutritional benefits.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Refrigeration: Store assembled yoghurt pots in sealed containers for up to 2 days in the fridge. Best consumed fresh.

• Make Ahead: Prepare multiple portions in advance by storing yoghurt and fruit separately, combining just before serving.

• Freezing Not Advised: Freezing affects the texture of both yoghurt and peach. Store in refrigerated conditions for optimal quality.

• Transport Tip: Use spill-proof jars or snack pots to pack this recipe in lunchboxes or cooler bags for picnics.
