Yogurt Bowl with Quick Granola

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Yogurt bowls are a staple in this household. They are a common breakfast, but also a great grab for snack or even dressed up as a dessert. When I first started as a dietitian, I made a point to not give patients a recommendation that I could not or do not follow myself. Making a complicated recipe for breakfast or meal prepping a weeks worth of breakfast on Sunday? No. I don’t do that myself. My recipes may be laughably easy, but they’re realistic and doable. My patients can do them and create change in their life. That’s a win to me.

Homemade granola takes it to another level… homemade sounds intimidating, but it’s so easy and your house will smell amazing.

Give it a go!

Quick Granola

Yogurt Bowl (+ Quick Granola)

Have you ever wished a “recipe” was just putting things in a bowl and calling it a recipe. This is that. This is what you’ve been looking for. A staple option for breakfast, and great for snacks, or transformed for a dessert. Adapt to your likes, but the foundation of fiber, protein, and fat is included.

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Plain Yogurt Fage 2%
  • 1/4-1/2 Cup Fruit, chopped/sliced Canned pineapples, drained. Banana slices. Fresh blueberries. You pick!
  • 1 Tbsp Sunbutter
  • 1/8-1/4 Cup Granola Homemade (see ‘Quick Granola’ recipe) or Simple Truth

Instructions
 

  • Add it all to a bowl. 😉

Notes

If you are not allergic to nuts, you can sub Sunbutter for peanut butter or almond butter. It is best to pick the one with the least amount of added sugar, and without trans fats. Trans fats on a label will be: Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. 
*For a dessert option, or just when I want chocolate, I love adding 60-72% dark chocolate chips. 
*No granola? Sub any whole grain cereal
*No seed or nutbutter? Add sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, almonds, walnuts, etc. 
This is VERY adaptable.
