Method

  1. First of all, you will need to peel the banana. Your child can take over this task.
  2. Take the banana and use a tableknife to slice through the length of it. Try not to slice all the way through to the other side, but just enough to open up the banana.
  3. Place the split banana onto a serving dish. If the banana falls over, simply cut a tiny slice from the underside to flatten the base.
  4. Now your helper can spoon the Greek yogurt over the banana.
  5. If you wish to drizzle the jam over the yogurt, you can either use a bottle of squeezy jam or simply warm the jam for a few seconds in the microwave until it becomes runny. Alternatively, you can just use it straight from the jar and spoon it straight over the top!
  6. Your child can now sprinkle the mixed nuts over the top of the yogurt and banana. Serve straight away.
