A quick, nourishing breakfast bowl combining creamy Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and crunchy granola, perfect for weight loss and busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred, low-fat optional)
- 1 cup (150 grams) mixed berries (fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
- 1/3 cup (40 grams) granola (low-sugar variety or homemade with oats, nuts, and honey or maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) chia seeds (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup (150 grams) of mixed berries under cold water. Hull and slice strawberries if using. Drain and set aside. (About 3 minutes)
- In a serving bowl, spoon 1 cup (240 ml) of Greek yogurt. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract if using, and stir gently to combine. (1 minute)
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt, then stir lightly. Adjust sweetness to taste. (30 seconds)
- Scatter the prepared berries evenly over the yogurt. (1 minute)
- Sprinkle 1/3 cup (40 grams) of granola over the berries. If adding chia seeds, sprinkle 1 teaspoon (5 grams) on top now. (30 seconds)
- Optionally, add a light drizzle of extra honey or a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing note. (Optional, 30 seconds)
- Serve immediately to keep granola crunchy.
Notes
Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture. If using frozen berries, thaw just before serving to avoid watery bowl. Sweeten to taste, as berries vary in sweetness. Can be prepared the night before but add granola fresh. Variations include dairy-free yogurt, nut-based granola for low-carb, and seasonal fruit swaps.
