My yogurt breakfast bowl has simple ingredients and no added sugar. The added fruit, nut butter, coconut and seeds transforms the plain yogurt base into such a delicious dish.

Ingredients

plain Greek yogurt (I use 2-5% fat)
raspberries
hemp hearts
unsweetened shredded coconut
chia seeds (or a mix of seeds and grains like this one)
natural nut & seed butter

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Spoon the Greek yogurt into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the remaining ingredients on top.

Mix & enjoy!

Hint: for added protein, I always add hemp hearts to my yogurt breakfast bowl. They have a nutty taste and complement the Greek yogurt well. It’s one of my favorite toppings for yogurt!

Substitutions

Raspberries – instead of raspberries, use your favourite berry (or a mix)
Greek yogurt – substitute the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt if you’re avoiding dairy
Chia seeds – swap the chia seeds for another favourite kind of seeds like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or pomegranate seeds

Variations

This nut butter, coconut, hemp hearts, seeds & raspberries yogurt bowl recipe is my favorite combination. However, there are endless yogurt breakfast bowl combos you could make. Here are some ideas:

Tropical – swap the berries with cubed mango and fresh pineapple for a tropical twist on this yogurt bowl. Add some banana slices.
Sweet – drizzle the yogurt bowl with 1 tsp of maple syrup for added sweetness. You can also use a drizzle of honey.
Protein yogurt bowl – for even more protein, mix 1 tbsp of your favourite protein powder into the yogurt before adding the toppings
Yogurt parfait – add some homemade granola to the top of the yogurt bowl for added crunch

Food Prep / Storage

You could create a few of these yogurt bowls in advance by layering the toppings over the yogurt in an airtight container like a mason jar. They would keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Once you’re ready to enjoy one, mix it together and eat.

FAQ

Is Greek yogurt a good source of protein for breakfast?

1 cup of Greek yogurt usually has around 24g of protein, so that’s a nice amount to start the day with. I usually add hemp seeds & chia seeds to my yogurt bowl for even more protein. There’s about 33g of protein in this particular yogurt breakfast bowl recipe.

Is Greek yogurt better than eggs for breakfast?

This is personal preference, but I usually find that Greek yogurt feels lighter than eggs. That’s why I usually prefer it if I’m not ultra hungry in the morning.

What’s the best brand of Greek yogurt?

I prefer Liberte Greek Yogurt here in Canada, and I usually get the 2-5% fat variety. I find the full fat Greek yogurt has a creamy texture and the added fat helps me feel more satisfied.
