These Granola & Yogurt Bowls have been my healthy breakfast go-to for YEARS! With 21 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber, I love that they’re such a balanced way to start the day. I love topping these with fresh berries and yogurt, apples and peanut butter, banana chocolate chip, or make a tropical variation that’s SO good! My kids feel like they’re getting a treat for breakfast, and I love that they only take 5 minutes to make. They’re truly the best!

Why I Love Yogurt & Granola for Breakfast

In case you need more convincing….

  • High-Protein + High-Fiber – Honestly, is there a better way to start the day? I love how balanced these healthy bowls are!
  • 4 Flavors – I’m giving you 4 different twists on these simple bowls, but you can really add any toppings you want!
  • 5 Minutes – That’s it. This breakfast recipe is so incredibly easy. We pretty much eat some variation of these bowls every single day!

Ingredients

Base Yogurt Bowl Recipe

  • Vanilla Greek Yogurt – I like the creaminess of Greek yogurt, and the vanilla adds just a little sweetness. Plain works, too!
  • Granola – Use a store-bought version or my homemade granola recipe!
  • Honey – Add over each variation for a little sweetness that’s so good.

Triple Berry Yogurt Bowl

  • Mixed Berries – Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries…any or all!
  • Creamy Almond Butter – This just brings all of the flavors together, while also adding healthy fats, fiber, and protein.

Apple Peanut Butter Granola Bowl

  • Apple – I usually go with a small, crisp one like Honeycrisp or Gala.
  • Creamy Peanut Butter – There’s just something about fresh sweet apples and peanut butter that’s just….wow.
  • Caramel – You can swap this for the honey drizzle to get that caramel apple goodness!

Banana Chocolate Chip

  • Banana – Thinly sliced
  • Creamy Almond or Granola Butter – Ok hear me out on the granola butter! It’ll change your life in these banana yogurt bowls. I used Oat Haus Snickerdoodle, but any of the flavors they have are so good in these bowls.
  • Chocolate Chips – Measure with your heart!

Tropical Bowls

  • Cantaloupe + Pineapple – Or any other type of tropical fruit.
  • Toasted Coconut Chips – These are SO good and instantly transport you to somewhere tropical. Highly recommend!
  • Goji Berries – Optional, but I love the nutrition they add and just the right amount of sweetness.

4 Ways to Create Granola & Yogurt Bowls

I can’t get over how easy these 5-minute granola bowls are to make! All you’ll need is a bowl and a few ingredients. Here’s how to put them together:

  1. Add yogurt and granola to a bowl.
  2. Top with fruit, nut butter, and any extras you like.
  3. Drizzle with honey if you want, and enjoy!

Tips

One thing I’ve learned when it comes to building the best yogurt bowl: go for variety. Instead of just loading it up with one fruit, try a little of a few different things. It’s prettier, more fun to eat, and adds more flavor and nutrients!

A few favorite mix-in ideas:

  • Extras: Cinnamon, chia seeds, coconut flakes, cacao nibs
  • Colorful fruits: Kiwi, mango, oranges, pomegranate seeds, or even watermelon
  • Nuts + seeds: Pumpkin seeds, chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, pistachios

More Flavor Variations

High-Protein Yogurt Bowl â€“ Use plain Greek yogurt, add some chia seeds and a high-protein granola. You can even mix in a little bit of vanilla protein powder!

Dairy-Free Yogurt Bowl â€“ Try a coconut or almond milk yogurt, instead!

Chocolate Almond Bowl â€“ Greek yogurt, cocoa nibs, almond butter, banana slices, and a pinch of cinnamon.

Peach Pie Bowl â€“ Vanilla yogurt, sliced peaches, granola, and a drizzle of maple syrup. This is seriously one of my favorite combos!

Make Ahead Yogurt Bowls

Save time by doing these simple tasks to make your breakfast bowls even quicker:

Chop the fruit ahead â€“ Store in containers in the fridge for 2–3 days.

Portion out granola â€“ Keep it in a jar or bag so it stays crispy.

Yogurt â€“ You can pre-portion this too, but I usually just scoop it into a bowl when I’m ready to eat.

    Mmm, this is a breakfast I haven’t had in ages! I’ve just started making homemade granola again, so these might need to happen. You’ve got me excited about pomegranate season – love them on yogurt bowls!

    Delicious and simple these are always a fav although we haven’t had them much in awhile until recently when I got more granola (a couple years ago we started using muesli a lot more) and we found a yogurt my oldest could have. I love all the flavors and textures you have here, not to mention they are pretty!!
