Why you will love this
- Great way to start the day. These Greek yogurt bowls are one of my favorite breakfasts. They are loaded with wholesome ingredients which make them as satisfying as they are delicious.
- No cooking. This is more of a method than a recipe. There's no cooking involved unless you prefer to make homemade granola.
- Variety of flavors and textures. Layer yogurt with fruit, such as mixed berries, something crunchy like granola or nuts, and finish with a touch of honey for sweetness.
- Customizable. I'm sharing lots of ideas for yogurt parfait toppings plus tips so you can create the most delicious yogurt bowls.
- Round out breakfast with these Cranberry Almond Muffins or these Cinnamon Chip Muffins.
Ingredients
- Greek yogurt - Start with plain yogurt as a base. My favorite variety/brand is Fage Total Greek yogurt.
- Granola - Use your favorite variety. Store-bought or homemade are both delicious. I love Nature Valley Crunchy granola - both oats and dark chocolate and oats and honey flavors. If you prefer homemade, try this granola topping recipe.
- Fruit - I love using an assortment of berries.
- Flavor/sweeteners - Vanilla extract and honey add flavor and a touch of sweetness.
Step-by-step Instructions
See the recipe card for complete instructions and ingredient amounts.
For each serving:
- Start with ¾ cup of your favorite yogurt.
- Flavor with vanilla extract, if desired.
- In a bowl or jar, layer yogurt with ¾ cup assorted fruit and top with ½ cup granola and a drizzle of honey.
Topping ideas
Add flavor and texture with a variety of add-ins.
- Berries like raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries
- Cantaloupe or honeydew melon
- Dried fruit such as cranberries, cherries, or raisins
- Nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, or pecans
- Flaked coconut
- Pumpkin or sunflower seeds
- Dark chocolate, white chocolate, or peanut butter chips
- Honey or maple syrup
- Cinnamon
- Extracts such as vanilla or almond.
Expert Tips
- Wait to wash berries until ready to use. This helps the berries stay fresh longer.
- If you build a yogurt parfait in a glass jar, add the granola to the top to keep it crunchy.
- I tested this recipe with Nature Valley Crunchy granola. The larger chunks retain a lot of their texture even after absorbing some of the moisture from the yogurt. The texture is quite appealing.
- Prep several portions ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
