A little planning goes a long way

Make tomorrow's meals easier.

Pick a few dishes, check what you need and follow a practical cooking order. A useful batch, not an entire Sunday lost to the kitchen.

Choose up to three dishes.

Start with each recipe's original number of servings, then adjust the portions in your shopping list below.

1 of 3 dishes selected. Uncheck one to swap it.

Your dishes and portions are saved in the page address. Bookmark or copy it to return to this plan. Ingredient ticks are not saved; no account is needed.

A little preparation

Your shopping list

Listed by dish so ingredient amounts and substitutions stay clear. If an ingredient appears in more than one dish, buy enough for each.

Quantities adjust; cooking times and storage limits do not. Use suitable pans and check doneness. Changing portions clears that dish's ingredient ticks.

Copies every ingredient for the selected portions, including anything you have ticked. No account needed.

Read the full method before you start. Wash your hands, use clean equipment and check the labels of every ingredient for allergens.

You will need

  • Kitchen scales
  • Colander
  • Knife and board
  • Serving bowls
  • Spoon

Important ingredient notes

  • Use muesli labelled ready to eat. Cereal that needs cooking is not a direct swap.

Allergens & ingredients

  • Milk in the yoghurt
  • Muesli may contain oats, wheat or barley, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, soya or sulphites; check the exact pack and may-contain statements

Meal-prep notes

  • Portion the dry muesli into a closed container.
  • Keep the yoghurt and fruit chilled separately, then combine when ready to eat.

Plan this as a same-day packed breakfast, following the storage instructions and ingredient labels.

The full method

  1. Prepare the berries

    Gently rinse the berries unless labelled ready to eat, then drain. Discard any mouldy or spoiled fruit. Remove the strawberry stalks and halve larger berries.

  2. Fill the bowls

    Divide the yoghurt between your bowls, then add the muesli.

  3. Add the fruit

    Spoon the berries over the top and serve. If preparing ahead, keep the components separate and chilled as described below, then combine just before eating.

Swaps & variations

  • Fruit: Try the same prepared weight of fresh blueberries or chopped pear.
  • Yoghurt: Try a suitable plant-based yoghurt. Check its ingredients and the muesli; the flavour, nutrition and allergens will differ.
  • Frozen berries: Follow the pack's preparation instructions, including cooking if required. Chill safely before adding; do not assume they can be used uncooked.

Finish with storage

Cool, label and store by dish.

These are not seven days of fridge storage. Follow each dish's limits and freeze only where the recipe allows.

Berry yoghurt and muesli bowl

  • Assemble just before eating. Keep yoghurt and prepared fruit covered at 0–5°C and follow the shortest use-by or after-opening limit. Keep the muesli dry and separate.
  • For a same-day packed breakfast, use an insulated bag with a cold pack and refrigerate on arrival.
  • Serve cold. Freezing the assembled bowl is not recommended here; its texture has not been tested.
