If you need an easy AND healthy breakfast that takes literally less than 5 minutes to make, then you've got to try these yogurt and granola bowls.
You just need your favorite yogurt, granola, and fruit of choice to make a delicious breakfast. Once you have your 3 basics, feel free to add any toppings of choice! (I've got a whole list below!)
This is a great recipe for kids, adults, or anyone who needs a nutritious meal on the go. Also, check out this pineapple banana smoothie or flaxseed pudding for more healthy options.
Ingredients Needed
- Yogurt: My favorite kind of yogurt to use is full-fat Greek yogurt because it's thick and creamy. However you can use a non-fat yogurt, vanilla, or a dairy free variety
- Granola: I LOVE adding my homemade gluten free granola on top because it's crunchy, tasty, and much healthier than store bought
- Sweetener: This is optional, but I like adding a small amount of monk fruit or honey to counteract the tangy taste of the yogurt
- Toppings: You can add fresh or dried fruit, nuts, seeds, honey, chocolate chips, etc. Add as little or as much as you'd like, the choice is yours!
Yogurt Options
While I prefer to use full-fat Greek yogurt, you really can use whatever you have on hand. Some good options are:
- Coconut yogurt
- Cashew milk yogurt
- Sheep's milk yogurt
- Plain yogurt
- Vanilla yogurt
- Non-fat yogurt
Homemade Granola Options
Usually I have either my oil free granola or gluten free granola on hand at all times. I rarely buy it from the store anymore simply because I'm OBSESSED with making it myself! Here are a few favorite flavors I've made before:
Yogurt Bowl Topping Ideas
You could go sweet with chocolate chips and strawberries or in a more savory note with peanut butter and roasted pumpkin seeds. The possibilities truly are endless when it comes to toppings, but here are a few ideas:

- Nuts: Cashews, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, almonds

- Add as few or as many toppings as you would like

- Yogurt with granola is best fresh- I don't suggest meal prepping because the granola will become soggy
Frequently Asked Questions

I like full-fat Greek yogurt because it's high in protein and a healthy source of fat, the granola is a great source of carbs, and just add fruit such as raspberries, pears, or bananas for fiber. (If using a non-dairy yogurt add some vegan protein powder or a nut butter for extra protein)
Yes, both yogurt and granola contain carbs.
