How to Make Yogurt Bowls Filling and Flavorful
Before experimenting with yogurt bowls I refused to eat Greek yogurt. As a dietitian I knew the wonderful benefits Greek yogurt had (hello protein and calcium), but I just couldn’t get past the sour taste and thick texture. Of course the Greek yogurts I LOVED were filled with tons of added sugar and ingredients I knew my body didn’t need. By adding fruit, flavor, and crunch I found SO many different combinations that I loved and also helped curb my sweet tooth. Make these yogurt bowls your own by experimenting with various ingredients!
- Yogurt – I recommend using Greek yogurt due to the added protein. This will help keep you full for hours. Choose 0%, 2%, or 5% depending on your personal preference and health goals. If you are dairy free you can use a non-dairy yogurt such as an almond milk yogurt, coconut milk yogurt, or soy yogurt.
- Fruit – This is where a lot of the sweetness and flavor come in. Feel free to use frozen or fresh depending on the season and what you have on hand. Some of my favorites are apples, bananas, pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, mango, oranges, and so many more. Adding fruit also helps minimize the thick texture by adding a little bit of water into the yogurt.
- Nuts + Seeds – These provide the extra crunch that most people love, while also providing healthy fats, protein, and fiber to help keep you full. Chop them up or leave them whole! The list goes on and on, but some favorites include almonds, cashews, walnuts, pistachios, chia seeds, and hemp seeds.
- Sweeteners + Flavor Enhancers – Although we want to try to keep the sugar low, in my head it is a must in Greek yogurt to help with flavor and texture. Get creative and remember that a little bit goes a long way! Examples include honey, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, and coffee extract.
- Additional Toppings – Why stop where we are? There are SO many additional options to top your yogurt bowls with.
- Want extra creaminess?- Add in a drizzle of nut butter such as peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter
- Want extra crunch?- Add in a pinch of granola, unsweetened coconut flakes, or cacao nibs
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU TRY IT!
