Description
A quick and easy healthy breakfast bowl combining creamy Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and crunchy almonds for a satisfying and nutritious start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (8 fl oz / 240 ml) full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt
- ½ cup (3.5 oz / 75 g) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries; fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp (0.5 oz / 14 g) almonds (raw or roasted)
- 1 tsp (0.17 fl oz / 5 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tsp (0.18 oz / 5 g) chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
- ¼ tsp (0.02 fl oz / 1 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- If toasting almonds, heat a dry skillet over medium heat, add almonds, and toast for 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool. Skip if using pre-roasted nuts.
- In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup if using. Stir gently until smooth and slightly sweetened.
- Fold in mixed berries. If using frozen berries, allow them to thaw for a few minutes to avoid chilling the yogurt too much.
- Sprinkle toasted almonds over the top. Add chia or flaxseeds if desired.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by drizzling a little extra honey. Optionally, add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
- Serve immediately for best texture, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours if prepping ahead.
Notes
Toast almonds carefully to avoid burning. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess. Frozen berries should be thawed slightly before use. Adjust sweetness to taste. Can substitute almonds with walnuts or pecans. For vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
