What Goes in a Yogurt Bowl?

YOGURT – Experiment with all kinds of yogurts, but firmer yogurts like Greek yogurt hold up better with the add-ins and toppings.

FLAVORS – Try different flavor combinations like mango and coconut, strawberry and mini chocolate chips, or bananas and peanut butter! So many possibilities! Some of our favorite mix-ins are peanut butter, oatmeal, muesli, granola, honey, fruit, or fruit jam or jelly.

TOPPINGS – And the toppings list is endless! But here’s a few ideas to get you started! Chia seeds, acai berries, chopped dried cherries or cranberries, cooked quinoa, dried fruit, mini chocolate chips, chopped pieces of fruit, toasted nuts, and even sugar-free coffee syrups can be added to a yogurt fruit bowl. Yogurt parfaits are grab-and-go yogurt bowls that are layered in clear, plastic cups with lids. Add a spoon and you’re good to go!

How To Make Yogurt Smoothie Bowls

This is the easy part!

  1. Mix yogurt, coconut, and lemon zest and scoop into the bottom of a bowl (or cup for a parfait).
  2. Swirl in strawberry (or other fruit-based jam), then top with your fave fruit toppings and enjoy!

Storing Yogurt Bowls

  • Yogurt bowls are best eaten just after they are made. But keep leftovers in the refrigerator for about 3 days.
  • Yogurt bowls are perfect to add to a backpack or lunchbox, just be sure to put them in containers with tightly fitted lids and a small ice-pack.
  • Mix your yogurt bowl together and then freeze it. What a delicious frozen yogurt treat to enjoy for dessert or on a hot day!
