Good Morning Breakfast!

This is like the Caribbean dream vacation breakfast, packed with fresh ripe fruits, some cinnamon for extra taste and yogurt!! yumm!
Although to me sounds super Caribbean, it actually is Swiss, that's right! Swiss!. The fresh homemade Swiss muesli is nothing else but apples, oats and yogurt! simple and delicious!
My husband introduced me to this awesome breakfast shortly after we were married. We were in Freiburg, a small town at the south of Germany in the boarder between France and Switzerland. I really didn't like it at first, I was not very much into plain yogurt, and even that I grew up in the tropic, eating fruits was also not my thing...! Eventually I began making this for my husband, the more I made it, the more I started to enjoy playing with fruits, I started to add my special touches, he likes it still, even though I have completely transformed it ...

Gather all the fruits you want to use, chop them in nice comfortable biting pieces. Bring them together in a large bowl, sprinkle some cinnamon and mix. You can put as much cinnamon as you like.

Add some oats. The oats allow you to use any fruit without the yogurt going curd. It seals the fruit.

Mix together

Add some yogurt, enough to hold the whole mixture together evenly

Mix

Sprinkle some more cinnamon on top and some whole almonds as decoration. It gives a nice touch!

Ingredients
Apples
Peaches
Pineapples
Strawberries
Mango
bananas
grapes
papaya
raspberries
blueberries
cinnamon
Plain Whole milk yogurt
oats (old fashioned)
whole almonds

You can use all of these fruits, but you can also use the ones you have at home right now.
Sometimes I only have apples, then that is what I use.
have fun mixing and enjoy!
