Good to know

Chef's tip

For a thicker base, use frozen fruit. Vary the toppings with other fresh fruit, chia seeds or crushed nuts. Adjust the amount of plant-based milk to get the consistency you want.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The fruit (mango, banana, blueberries) loses its texture when thawed. The muesli turns soggy.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Fresh fruit oxidizes, bananas brown, muesli goes soft. Eat within 1 hour at most for best quality.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Preparing the day before is not recommended. The fruit oxidizes and loses its texture. The muesli goes soft. Prepare just before eating.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, cold dish.

Variations

Add a drizzle of honey and a few fresh mint leaves.
Use fresh or frozen blueberries.
Choose a muesli with no added sugar.

Mistakes to avoid

Using bananas that are not ripe enough: they add sweetness and creaminess.
Adding too much almond milk: adjust the amount to keep a thick base.
Adding the muesli too early: sprinkle it on at the last moment.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make the base of the bowl?

Put the mango and banana pieces in a blender with the almond milk and blend until smooth and even, setting aside a small amount of mango for the topping.

Can you use frozen blueberries?

Yes, fresh or frozen blueberries both work. Arrange them on top of the base with the reserved mango pieces, just before adding the crunchy muesli.

When should you add the muesli?

Sprinkle the muesli over the fruit just before serving to keep all its crunch, then finish with a drizzle of honey and a few fresh mint leaves if you like.

How do you adjust the thickness of the bowl?

Adjust the amount of almond milk while blending: less milk gives a thicker base, to eat with a spoon, and more milk gives a thinner texture, closer to a smoothie.
