Okay okay, this isn't technically a recipe - it's more of an assembly of parts and doesn't involve any cooking. But I thought I'd share it as it's a great way to use the sort of produce normally found in a farm shop to make a really nutritious breakfast.
It's inspired by a lady called Lorraine, who runs gorgeous Cumbria B&B Hawksdale Lodge with her husband Martyn. The couple bought their 19th century manor house in a bid to escape the rat race and Lorraine is a wicked cook and mean baker, so I think they'd be pleased to hear of our efforts to escape the rat race by going supermarket-free.
This breakfast cup heralded the beginning of the most delicious full English Neil and I have ever tasted, and I think Lorraine assembled it a lot more carefully than my recipe below, without using muesli as a cheat. But my version takes literally a minute to pull together, making it perfect for when you're on your way to work.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup muesli (or more if you're hungry!)
1/2 apple, grated (put the other half in the fridge for tomorrow!)
1/2 glass apple juice
1 small pot of any flavour yogurt you like (or a spoonful from a large pot)
Small portion of one other fruit (Lorraine used blueberries but anything goes - I find half a chopped banana works well)
METHOD:
In a small bowl mix together the muesli and fruit. Then spoon the mixture into a drinking glass and pour the apple juice over the top. Lorraine allowed her mixture to stand for a while so the apple juice soaked into the muesli, but I find it works just as well to eat it straight away when you're in a rush. Finally spoon the yogurt over the top.
That's it! Breakfast is served. It's easier to eat it with a long-handled spoon.
