Ingredients and Add-Ins
Yogurt: Any yogurt works (even dairy-free yogurt blends), but Greek yogurt stays firmer with all the mix-ins and toppings. Homemade yogurt is easy to make and perfect for meal prep all week long.
Mix-Ins: Strawberry jam, jelly, peanut butter, Nutella, honey, maple syrup, or even a scoop of protein powder will add new flavors to yogurt bowls every time you make them.
Toppings: Any fruit tastes good in a yogurt bowl. Fresh or frozen bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries are all colorful and nutritious additions to yogurt bowls. Raisins, currants, chopped dried mangos, cranberries, granola, or any kind of nuts or seeds make healthy toppings, too.
How to Make Yogurt Bowls
- Mix yogurt, coconut, and lemon zest in a bowl.
- Swirl in jam or other mix-ins. (Full recipe below.)
- Top with coconut, chia seeds, and berries, and serve!
Storing Yogurt Bowls
- Yogurt bowl base ingredients can be prepped ahead and put into small containers or mason jars with lids. Keep in the fridge until they’re ready for mix-ins and toppings.
- Yogurt bowls taste best when they’re freshly made, but can be covered and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Leftover yogurt bowls can be made into refreshing frozen yogurt treats. Simply blend all the ingredients and freeze in popsicle molds or small containers with tight-fitting lids. Or add leftovers to an energizing smoothie or a bowl of overnight oats.
