Yogurt Bowl

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

What I love most about yogurt bowls is their versatility. With a creamy yogurt base, fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and a sprinkle of nuts, each bite is a delightful combination of textures and flavors. Plus, you can easily customize it based on what you have at home or your mood that day. It’s a simple yet satisfying meal that’s quick to prepare, nutritious, and packed with protein to keep you energized all day.

Ingredients

3/4 cup honey vanilla Greek yogurt (I recommend Greek Gods brand)

1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, or your favorite berries)

2 to 3 tablespoons granola (homemade or store-bought)

1 to 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (or other nuts of choice)

1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional—see note below)

Drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup (optional)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Add the Greek yogurt to a bowl and smooth the top with a spoon.

Top with berries – Arrange the mixed berries over the yogurt, creating a colorful, fresh layer.

Sprinkle with granola, followed by the sliced almonds or other nuts.

If you’re using chia seeds, sprinkle them on top (note: chia seeds absorb liquid quickly, so I recommend adding them right before serving).

Optionally, drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a little extra sweetness.

Enjoy immediately!

FAQs

1. Can I make this yogurt bowl ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the yogurt and toppings ahead of time, but it’s best to store them separately. Add the granola, nuts, and chia seeds right before serving to keep everything fresh and crunchy.

2. Can I use non-dairy yogurt?

Absolutely! If you prefer a dairy-free version, you can use coconut, almond, or soy-based yogurt as a substitute.

3. What if I don’t like chia seeds?

No worries! Chia seeds are optional. If you’re not into them, you can skip them or replace them with flax seeds or hemp seeds for similar nutritional benefits.

4. Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit?

Yes! Frozen fruit works great too. Let it thaw slightly before adding it to your bowl, or enjoy it frozen for a cooler, refreshing treat.

5. How can I make my yogurt bowl more filling?

To make your yogurt bowl more filling, try adding a scoop of protein powder, nut butter, or a handful of oats for extra fiber.
