Triple Berry Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl

Today I’m so happy to share a recipe that I’ve loved for a LONG time ( I even have it as a dessert sometimes) but it really has helped transformed my mornings and help me get breakfast in my belly. It’s my go-to Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl, it’s simple and nourishing AND delicious. This recipe is now staple in my breakfast repertoire, not just for its ease and simplicity but for it’s beauty! Aren’t breakfast bowls so pretty?

I stumbled upon the healthy facts of Greek yogurt bowls during a time when I was trying to lose a few pounds. I wanted something that could be both quick and filling so I started experimenting with Greek yogurt and various toppings. The combination of bananas, strawberries, almonds, raspberries, and blueberries stood out for its perfect balance of sweetness, crunch, and tartness. It was an instant love affair!

Why This Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl Works

Each ingredient in this bowl brings its own set of benefits and flavors if you are health conscious:

• Greek Yogurt: Rich in protein, Greek yogurt is a creamy base that keeps you full and satisfied. Its tangy flavor pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the fruit. Greek yogurt takes awhile to get use to so I would go with a vanilla flavor at first and move to the plain which has no added sugars.
• Bananas: A great source of potassium and fiber, bananas add a soft, creamy texture and natural sweetness.
• Strawberries and Raspberries: These berries are not only antioxidants powerhouses but also add a lovely tartness and a burst of freshness.
• Blueberries: Known for their health benefits and high vitamin C content, blueberries add a subtle sweetness and a pop of color.
• Almonds: Almonds introduce a delightful crunch and are a great source of healthy fats and vitamin E.

Step by Step Instructions:

1. Start with the Base: In a bowl, scoop in the Greek yogurt. Smooth it out for a pretty presentation
2. Layer the Fruits: Arrange the banana slices around one side of the bowl. Follow with strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, placing each type of fruit in its own section or mixed.
3. Add Crunch: Sprinkle the almonds over the top. The nutty flavor and crunch are the perfect contrast to the creamy yogurt and soft fruits.
4. Drizzle Sweetness: If you like a touch of extra sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the bowl!
5. Optional Sprinkle: For an extra fiber boost, sprinkle some chia seeds over your bowl.
