Sharing how to make the best yogurt bowls with four different topping variations. They’re protein-packed, easy to make and perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Yogurt bowls are the perfect protein-packed, easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They come together in no time at all and taste amazing. Also, the flavor combos are endless! The 4 variations I’m sharing below are my go-to’s… berry, peanut butter and jelly, tropical and chunky monkey… they’re all delicious, but you do you when it comes to the toppings and mix-ins.

With all 4 variations I’m sharing each bite is filled with thick, creamy yogurt, fruit and a bit of crunch. Most importantly, these yogurt bowls will keep you full all morning! I’ve found the key to keeping myself from being ravenous between meals and mindlessly snacking is to make sure I have a breakfast with a combination of protein, carbs, healthy fats and fiber and this breakfast does the trick!

Why You’ll Love These Yogurt Bowls

• They’re so easy to make.
• They’re protein-packed and will keep you fuller longer. 
• The flavor combinations are endless so you won’t get bored.

What Type of Yogurt is Best to Use?

I recommend using plain Greek yogurt, either full fat, 2% or 0% for yogurt bowls. My favorite type to use is the Fage 5% plain Greek yogurt. It’s rich and creamy, packed with protein, loaded with probiotics (aka good bacteria) and has no added sweeteners or flavors, which is the perfect base for these bowls.

That said, feel free to use your favorite type of yogurt. I would just be mindful of flavored yogurts and fat-free yogurts as most of them have added sugars. For a vegan and dairy-free option I love the Culina coconut yogurt.

How to Make Yogurt Bowls

There isn’t really a wrong way to make a yogurt bowl. Just add your yogurt to a bowl, add your favorite toppings and enjoy! Here are 4 variations to try:

Berries, granola and honey – top Greek yogurt with fresh berries, granola and a drizzle of honey.

Tropical – top Greek yogurt with sliced banana, chopped mango and toasted coconut.

Chunky Monkey – top Greek yogurt with sliced banana, peanut or almond butter and your choice of chocolate chips or cocoa nibs.

Peanut Butter & Jelly – top Greek yogurt with peanut or almond butter and strawberry chia jam (or your favorite store-bought jam).

Other Topping Ideas

• Fresh fruit – banana, berries, mango, kiwi, peaches, apples, oranges, pineapple, cherries… pretty much any fruit works!
• Dried fruit – raisins, cranberries, dates, cherries
• Nuts and seeds – almonds, pecans, walnuts, pistachios, sunflower seeds, pepitas (aka pumpkin seeds) chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds
• Nut or seed butter – almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, tahini, sunflower seed butter
• Jam – any store-bought jam will work, but I prefer my strawberry chia jam
• Granola – hemp granola, grain free chocolate granola, coconut almond granola or your favorite store-bought granola. The Purely Elizabeth ancient grain granola is one of my favorites!
• Chocolate chips or cocoa nibs – for a decadent dessert-like yogurt bowl
• Coconut flakes – if you’re feeling fancy you can toast your coconut for added flavor. Here’s a full guide on how to toast coconut
• Maple syrup, honey, agave – for a touch of sweetness
