Three Easy and Delicious Yogurt Bowl Recipes

At a loss for what to make for breakfast? Looking for an easy and nutritious snack? Try making a yogurt bowl! In all of my bowls I like to use unsweetened Greek yogurt, then I add a bit of liquid sweetener such as agave or honey. Adding the sweetener yourself ensures that the yogurt is sweetened to your liking. Sometimes I also flavor the yogurt with jam, cocoa powder or nut butter. I think fruit is essential for all yogurt bowls. Because I prefer my yogurt cold, I often top my yogurt bowls with frozen fruit. Having a crunchy yogurt bowl is crucial to me—I often make my bowls crunchy using granola. Nut granola is a solid choice for all yogurt bowls because of its neutral flavor; however, fruit granola is an excellent choice when it comes to enhancing the flavor of the bowl. Here are three of my favorite single-serving yogurt bowl recipes:

This bowl is my personal favorite. Frozen raspberries are the perfect frozen fruit for yogurt bowls; the raspberries easily break apart when mixed to flavor the yogurt, and they create a gorgeous pink color. Raspberries are also very easy to chew while frozen because they break apart so easily, meaning you can have a cold yogurt bowl without hurting your teeth. This fresh and easy yogurt bowl is a perfect everyday breakfast!

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup yogurt
  • Sweetener to taste
  • ¼ cup frozen raspberries
  • ¼ cup nut granola

Instructions:

  1. Pour yogurt into a small bowl.
  2. Sweeten the yogurt with agave syrup and mix.
  3. Top with frozen raspberries and nut granola.
