Essential banana delight

Using a blender, mix together 1/4 cup of natural yogurt with a banana and 1 to 2 soupspoons of lemon juice (to taste). Put the creamy liquid into a bowl and generously sprinkle with grilled walnuts and Essential granola. (Makes 1 to 2 portions).


Divine choco-yogurt mousse
Whip ½ cup of whipping cream until fluffy and then, using a spatula, gently fold in ½ cup of natural yogurt (2%). Add 3 to 5 soupspoons of cacao powder (or to taste). Refrigerate for 1 hour. Put the mixture into sundae dishes and sprinkle Divine granola over the top. (Makes 2 portions).


A dishful of vitality
Prepare a fruit salad of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, bananas... whatever you fancy. Cut the fruit into small pieces. Cover with vanilla yogurt and sprinkle with Vitality granola. For a more elegant dessert, macerate the fruits in a 1/4 cup of dark rum, Grand Marnier, Sambuca or Frangelico for at least an hour. Cover with whipped up vanilla cream for more decadence or, if you’re feeling sensible, a mix of half yogurt, half whipped cream.


Aphrodisiac Snack
Melt 100 g of black chocolate (ideally 70 % cacao). To spice things up a bit, add a pinch of cayenne or espelette pepper (to taste). Mix ¼ to ½ cup of Aphrodisiac granola into the melted chocolate making sure to cover the cereals with the chocolate. Spread the mixture on waxed paper and refrigerate for an hour. Break into pieces and serve as a snack or take some on your hike or cross-country ski trip. For something more fruity... add some dried fruits or nuts (raisins, grilled almonds, dried cranberries...) or for some warmth... why not add pieces of candied ginger ? (makes 1 to 2 portions... if you feel like sharing !!)


Banana and Granola to go
Mash a banana (or two) with your favourite La Fourmi Bionique granola and spread it generously between two pieces of crispy baguette. Et voilà - a tasty, easy to eat sandwich – to go.
