Instructions

Prepare Your Yogurt: Spoon your chosen yogurt into a bowl. The amount will depend on your appetite and bowl size, but around 1 cup is a good starting point for a satisfying serving. If using plain yogurt, you can optionally sweeten it lightly with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
Add Granola: Sprinkle granola generously over the yogurt. Start with about ½ cup per serving and adjust to your liking. For a layered effect, you can add a layer of granola, then a layer of fruit, and then more granola on top. This helps maintain some of the granola’s crunch even as it sits in the yogurt.
Top with Fresh Fruit: Arrange your favorite fresh fruit on top of the granola. Be creative with your presentation! Sliced fruits can be fanned out, berries can be scattered, and smaller fruits like blueberries can be piled high. The more colorful and appealing it looks, the more enjoyable it will be to eat.
Customize with Optional Toppings: Now comes the fun part – adding your optional toppings! Think about flavors and textures that complement each other. A sprinkle of sliced almonds and chia seeds adds crunch and healthy fats. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup enhances sweetness. A dollop of nut butter adds creaminess and protein. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find your perfect combination.
Serve Immediately: Yogurt granola bowls are best enjoyed immediately after assembly, especially if you want to maintain the granola’s maximum crunch. If you are preparing them ahead of time (see tips below), store the components separately and assemble just before serving.
Enjoy! Grab a spoon and dig into your delicious and nutritious yogurt granola bowl. Savor the combination of creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and sweet, juicy fruit. This is a breakfast, snack, or dessert that’s both satisfying and good for you.
