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.
