Description
Easy Yogurt Granola Bowls are quick, nourishing bowls made with creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and fresh fruits or toppings — a versatile meal for breakfast, snack, or dessert that’s ready in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla — Greek yogurt works especially well)
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup granola (store‑bought or homemade)
- 1/2–1 cup fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, mango, apple, etc.)
- Optional: 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (for extra sweetness)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds (for extra fiber & nutrients)
- Optional: nuts or nut butter (for healthy fats and extra crunch)
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract (for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Place the yogurt into a bowl as the base.
- Sprinkle granola over the yogurt in an even layer.
- Add fresh fruit on top of the granola — sliced or chopped based on preference.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup if you like additional sweetness.
- Finish with optional toppings like seeds, nuts, nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir gently if desired.
- Serve immediately to keep the granola crunchy.
Notes
- Use plain or unsweetened yogurt to better control the sweetness — flavored yogurts add more sugar. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Granola provides fiber and healthy carbohydrates — but choose a low‑sugar granola or make your own for a healthier bowl. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Make it dairy‑free by using a plant‑based yogurt (e.g. coconut, almond, oat) and substituting maple syrup for honey if needed. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Prepare yogurt and fruit ahead if meal‑prepping, but add granola just before serving so it stays crunchy. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Great for customizable flavor combinations — try banana & nut butter, mixed berries with seeds, or tropical fruit with coconut and nuts. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
