Instructions

Creating a Greek Yogurt and Granola Bowl is incredibly simple. It’s more about assembly than actual cooking! Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Prepare Your Yogurt Base: Spoon the Greek yogurt into a bowl. The amount will depend on your appetite and bowl size. Start with about ¾ to 1 cup of yogurt per serving.
Layer with Granola: Sprinkle a generous layer of granola over the Greek yogurt. The amount of granola is also to taste, but aim for about ¼ to ½ cup per serving for a good crunch.
Add Fresh Fruits: Arrange your chosen fresh fruits on top of the granola. Get creative with the presentation! Sliced, diced, or whole berries all work beautifully. Use about ½ to 1 cup of fruit per serving.
Sprinkle with Nuts and Seeds: Scatter your favorite nuts and seeds over the fruit. A tablespoon or two per serving is usually sufficient.
Drizzle with Sweetener (Optional): If you desire a touch of sweetness, drizzle a small amount of honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener over the bowl. Start with a teaspoon and add more to taste.
Add Optional Extras (Optional): Now is the time to add any other desired toppings, such as shredded coconut, chocolate chips, cinnamon, or nut butter.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Greek Yogurt and Granola Bowl immediately for the best texture and crunch. If you’re preparing it ahead of time, it’s best to keep the granola separate and add it just before serving to prevent it from getting soggy.
