Fluffy Yogurt Breakfast Bowl (Printable Version)

Light and creamy yogurt bowl with fresh strawberries and a crunchy granola topping.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Yogurt Base

01 - 1.5 cups Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
02 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
03 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Fruit Topping

04 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

→ Crunchy Topping

05 - 0.5 cup granola
06 - 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts, optional

→ Garnish

07 - 1 teaspoon chia seeds, optional
08 - Fresh mint leaves, optional

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Using a hand whisk or electric mixer, whip for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
02 - Distribute the whipped yogurt evenly between two serving bowls.
03 - Arrange sliced strawberries on top of the yogurt base.
04 - Sprinkle granola and chopped nuts over the strawberries.
05 - Top with chia seeds and fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately to maintain optimal crunch.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday morning without stress.
  • The whipped yogurt is impossibly creamy while staying light, and that contrast with the granola crunch is genuinely addictive.
  • You feel genuinely nourished afterward—protein, fruit, and healthy fats all working together instead of leaving you hungry an hour later.
02 -
  • If you whip the yogurt ahead of time, it'll start to separate and lose that fluffy texture within a couple hours—make the base right before serving, even if it seems like it takes an extra minute.
  • Draining your strawberries on a paper towel for a minute keeps them from releasing too much liquid into the yogurt, which is the difference between a bowl that stays creamy and one that gets soupy.
03 -
  • Add the granola right before eating—it's the difference between staying crispy and turning into cardboard—and if you love extra crunch, don't skip the nuts even though they're optional.
  • Use whatever yogurt you have; full-fat creates a richer, airier whip, but low-fat works perfectly fine and won't change the character of the dish.
