Greek Yogurt Bowl With Berries - A Fresh, Protein-Packed Breakfast

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or 5% for creaminess; nonfat works too)
  • 1/2–1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1–2 tablespoons granola or toasted oats
  • 1 tablespoon nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia, hemp, or pumpkin seeds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest (optional, for extra flavor)
  • A few mint leaves (optional, for freshness)
  • A splash of milk (optional, to loosen if your yogurt is very thick)

Method
 

  1. Prep the berries. Rinse and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries. If they’re tart, toss with a tiny bit of honey or lemon juice to brighten them up.
  2. Flavor the yogurt. In a bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with vanilla and a small pinch of cinnamon if using. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a looser texture.
  3. Assemble the base. Spoon the yogurt into a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of your spoon.
  4. Add the berries. Scatter your mixed berries over the yogurt so every spoonful gets a mix of fruit.
  5. Sweeten lightly. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup. Start small; you can always add more.
  6. Layer the crunch. Top with granola and your choice of nuts or seeds. This adds texture and healthy fats.
  7. Finish and serve. Add mint leaves or lemon zest if you like. Eat right away for the best crunch.
