Fresh Fruit Yogurt Bowl (Serves 1–2)
Ingredients
-
1 cup plain or Greek yogurt (dairy or plant-based)
-
1 cup fresh fruit (any combination: berries, banana slices, mango, kiwi, apple, pear, etc.)
-
2–3 tbsp granola or toasted oats
-
1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Optional extras:
-
Coconut flakes
-
Cinnamon or cocoa powder
-
A few dark chocolate shavings

Instructions

Start with Yogurt

Arrange or mix fresh fruit on top. Use a variety of colors for a visually appealing bowl.
-
-
Add Crunch & Flavor
-
Sprinkle granola or toasted oats for texture.

-
Optional Sweet Touch

Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup if desired.

Tips
-
Prep Ahead: Wash and slice fruits in advance for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
-
Protein Boost: Stir in a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter.
-
Seasonal Twist: Use whatever fruit is in season—it’ll taste best and be cheaper.
-
Layered Version: Make it into a parfait by alternating layers of yogurt, fruit, and granola.
This is a simple, nutritious, and customizable dish. You can make it as indulgent or light as you like.
I can also create a “supercharged energy version” with extra protein and healthy fats if you want a bowl that keeps you full until lunch.
