Healthy, because
With fruit, yoghurt and a few minutes under the grill, the Anglo-Saxon satiety-maker, which takes some getting used to for Central Europeans, turns into a delicious dessert that is also rich in minor substances: bananas bring a lot of potassium for a balanced water balance, yoghurt scores with calcium for firm teeth and nails and bones.
Even smarter
If you would like the German answer to English porridge and French crème brûlée to be a little less caloric, replace the cream yoghurt with the low-fat variant with 1.5% fat.
