A close-up image of a bowl filled with a colorful breakfast trail mix layered with several elements: at the bottom, pale beige oat cereal loops; above them, bright green pistachio nuts scattered unevenly; on top of that, dark red dried cranberries adding a rich contrast; mixed in between, light yellow banana chips with a slightly crispy texture; and white, yogurt-covered pretzel pieces broken into irregular shapes finishing the mix. The white bowl has two handles and sits on a white marbled surface with some cereal bits scattered around it. The lighting emphasizes the shiny textures of the dried fruits and yogurt coating.
