Ingredients

Base Yogurt Bowl Recipe

• Vanilla Greek Yogurt – I like the creaminess of Greek yogurt, and the vanilla adds just a little sweetness. Plain works, too!
• Granola – Use a store-bought version or my homemade granola recipe!
• Honey – Add over each variation for a little sweetness that’s so good.

Triple Berry Yogurt Bowl

• Mixed Berries – Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries…any or all!
• Creamy Almond Butter (opens in a new tab) – This just brings all of the flavors together, while also adding healthy fats, fiber, and protein.

Apple Peanut Butter Granola Bowl

• Apple – I usually go with a small, crisp one like Honeycrisp or Gala.
• Creamy Peanut Butter (opens in a new tab) – There’s just something about fresh sweet apples and peanut butter that’s just….wow.
• Caramel – You can swap this for the honey drizzle to get that caramel apple goodness!

Banana Chocolate Chip

• Banana – Thinly sliced
• Creamy Almond or Granola Butter – Ok hear me out on the granola butter! It’ll change your life in these banana yogurt bowls. I used Oat Haus (opens in a new tab) Snickerdoodle, but any of the flavors they have are so good in these bowls.
• Chocolate Chips (opens in a new tab) – Measure with your heart!

Tropical Bowls

• Cantaloupe + Pineapple – Or any other type of tropical fruit.
• Toasted Coconut Chips (opens in a new tab) – These are SO good and instantly transport you to somewhere tropical. Highly recommend!
• Goji Berries (opens in a new tab) – Optional, but I love the nutrition they add and just the right amount of sweetness.

4 Ways to Create Granola & Yogurt Bowls

I can’t get over how easy these 5-minute granola bowls are to make! All you’ll need is a bowl (opens in a new tab) and a few ingredients. Here’s how to put them together:

1. Add yogurt and granola to a bowl.
2. Top with fruit, nut butter, and any extras you like.
3. Drizzle with honey if you want, and enjoy!

Tips

One thing I’ve learned when it comes to building the best yogurt bowl: go for variety. Instead of just loading it up with one fruit, try a little of a few different things. It’s prettier, more fun to eat, and adds more flavor and nutrients!

A few favorite mix-in ideas:

• Extras: Cinnamon, chia seeds, coconut flakes, cacao nibs
• Colorful fruits: Kiwi, mango, oranges, pomegranate seeds, or even watermelon
• Nuts + seeds: Pumpkin seeds, (opens in a new tab) chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, pistachios

More Flavor Variations

High-Protein Yogurt Bowl – Use plain Greek yogurt, add some chia seeds and a high-protein granola. You can even mix in a little bit of vanilla protein powder!

Dairy-Free Yogurt Bowl – Try a coconut or almond milk yogurt, instead!

Chocolate Almond Bowl – Greek yogurt, cocoa nibs, almond butter, banana slices, and a pinch of cinnamon.

Peach Pie Bowl – Vanilla yogurt, sliced peaches, granola, and a drizzle of maple syrup. This is seriously one of my favorite combos!

Make Ahead Yogurt Bowls

Save time by doing these simple tasks to make your breakfast bowls even quicker:

Chop the fruit ahead – Store in containers in the fridge for 2–3 days.

Portion out granola – Keep it in a jar or bag so it stays crispy.

Yogurt – You can pre-portion this too, but I usually just scoop it into a bowl when I’m ready to eat.
