- Yield: 1 serving
- Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt: Plain or vanilla (ensure it is gelatin-free or uses halal-certified gelatin).
- 1/2 cup mixed berries: Fresh strawberries (sliced), blueberries, and raspberries.
- 1/4 cup granola: Choose a low-sugar variety for a healthier option.
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup: For natural sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds: For extra fiber and crunch.
- Fresh mint leaves: Optional, for garnish.
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Scoop the Greek yogurt into a medium-sized serving bowl. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon to create a nice surface for toppings.
- Add the Fruit: Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top of the yogurt. You can pile them in the center or arrange them in a crescent shape for a beautiful presentation.
- Add the Crunch: Sprinkle the granola and chia seeds over the fruit and yogurt.
- Sweeten: Drizzle the honey or maple syrup generously over the entire bowl.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and enjoy immediately.
Tips, Variations & Storage
- Substitutions:
- Dairy-Free/Vegan: Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt. Use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Nut-Free: Ensure your granola is nut-free or replace it with pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.
- Make-Ahead Advice: You can wash and slice the fruit the night before. Store the fruit and yogurt in separate containers in the fridge to keep the granola from getting soggy.
- Storage Tips: This bowl is best eaten fresh. If you must store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours (add granola just before eating).
- Serving Ideas: Pair this bowl with a warm cup of herbal tea or coffee for a complete breakfast experience.
FAQ
Q: Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh? A: Yes! Thaw them in the fridge overnight for the best texture. Keep in mind they might release some juice, which will naturally color the yogurt.
Q: Is this breakfast high in protein? A: Yes, especially if you use Greek yogurt, which typically contains double the protein of regular yogurt.
Q: Can I use flavored yogurt? A: Absolutely. Strawberry or blueberry yogurt works well, but be mindful of the added sugar content if you are also adding honey.
