Ingredients
- 1/4 cup 100 percent guava or orange juice (no sugar added)
- 4 dried apricots, diced
- 1 cup 2 percent Greek yogurt
- 1/2 medium pink grapefruit, cut into segments
- One 4-ounce cup mandarin oranges in 100 percent fruit juice, strained
- 1/4 cup bran flakes cereal
- 2 tablespoons toasted or raw pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Put the guava juice and apricots in a small bowl, and cover. Microwave until the apricots are tender and the juice reduces to a lighter syrup, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to help cool faster.
- Put the yogurt in a cereal bowl. Spoon the apricot-guava compote into the center. Arrange the grapefruit, mandarin oranges, cereal and pistachios in neat piles or rows around the compote. Then take a photo!
