Fruit and Yogurt Bowl
Breakfast doesn’t get any easier than a Fruit & Yogurt Bowl! Whether you are in a rush and need a quick meal or snack to put together, or you want to have easy make-ahead breakfast or snack for the week, here are some inspirational yogurt bowls!
The base of this recipe is the Greek Yogurt. What makes it superior to regular yogurt? First, even though they are made from milk, Greek yogurt has more protein and less sugar which keeps us fuller longer. Alternatively, coconut yogurt for those who are dairy-sensitive is also a great base, and kefir is ideal for those who are focusing on improving gut health or lowering inflammation in the body because it’s powerful probiotics.
After choosing the best base, the options are endless when adding toppings so you will never get bored with this recipe! Depending on your health goals, I recommend simply ensuring that the meal remains balanced with:
Protein (i.e., Greek Yogurt, Kefir, or mixing protein powder in coconut yogurt)
Healthy fats (i.e., unsulted nuts or seeds or nut butters)
Healthy Carbs (i.e., fresh fruits or frozen fruits)
