with coconut yogurt, fresh mango, banana, almond butter, hemp, and crunchy granola.
Need an easy breakfast, dessert, or post-workout snack? A healthy yogurt bowl is a quick, simple, and nutrient-dense option! Start with a good-quality yogurt (like Greek or coconut yogurt - I love Two Good), then build up from there!
I know that everyone sees the sugary, flavored yogurts crowding the market shelves. That’s where making homemade yogurt bowls comes into play! Buy a tub of yogurt (full of beneficial bacteria, protein, and fat), then sweeten and top with granola, nuts, fruit, and anything else you enjoy :)
There are 3 ways to sweeten yogurt bowls: natural jam, fresh or frozen fruit, or natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Add it straight on the top of the yogurt or stir it in before adding toppings.
If you're used to yogurt with fruit on the bottom, place your favorite frozen fruit in a bowl or mason jar, then top it with yogurt. Let the fruit thaw for about fifteen minutes, then mix and garnish with more goodies!

How to make it more filling?
*Add extra protein: Yogurt already has plenty of protein, but if you want to add more to fill you up, add 1 scoop of a protein powder that you love the taste of.
*Add fiber-rich fruit
*Add granola, nuts, seeds, and/or nut butter: Adds complex carbs and healthy fats
Vanilla Mango Yogurt Bowl
Ingredients:
• 150g coconut yogurt
• 30g vanilla vegan protein powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping:
• Mango
• Banana
• PBfit mixed with cinnamon + maple syrup (or almond butter)
• Hemp seeds
• Granola
(Serves 1)
Method:
- Yogurt bowls can be prepped ahead of time, or you can make them first thing in the morning and devour them straightaway. Enjoy yogurt bowls for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack; better yet, serve it with muffins high in protein, eggs, or additional fruit.
1. Gently mix the protein powder into the yogurt.
2. Add your favorite toppings!
*Meal Prep: Make your energy-packed yogurt bowls in advance to save time. You'll need mason jars for this. Fill the mason jar with the yogurt, fruit, and honey or maple syrup. Place your toppings (granola, almonds, seeds, etc.) in a ziploc bag. To make a simple grab-and-go, keep everything in the fridge together. Before enjoying, just add the toppings to the jar.
*Yogurt Bowl Bar: Something really fun I like to do with my daughter in the morning is put out containers of yogurt, honey, granola, peanut butter, and a couple of different fruits on the counter so we can build our own bowls together. This is a great way to serve a nourishing breakfast, even for toddlers. It gives her the opportunity to be creative and add the things she likes best, rather than me choosing for her.
