I recently fell in love with this simple breakfast. This yogurt bowl is super quick to make and keeps me full for hours. It’s very customizable, but this particular recipe is low GI so it won’t spike your blood sugar and it’s a great low-carb breakfast option. I feel my best if I’m eating a low-sugar breakfast so I opt for plain yogurt for this recipe but you can use any yogurt you prefer or add honey.

This is my go-to breakfast most weekdays as it’s easy to throw together on busy mornings. I find the combination of sweet berries, bananas, crunchy nuts and seeds, and creamy peanut butter very satisfying.

Yogurt Bowl Ingredients:

  • Plain Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: I recently discovered that full-fat dairy is much more nutritious than low-fat, it has more flavor and keeps me full longer. You can substitute any yogurt for this recipe.
  • Berries: I use a combination of raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries because they are full of vitamins, and low in sugar but still sweet. You can definitely use any fruit you like.
  • Banana: Just half a banana gives this bowl some sweetness
  • Keifer: I add a bit of plain Keifer to get the benefits of a prebiotic. It’s a bit tart so if you’re not into that you can leave this out or add a flavored one.
  • Hemp Seeds: I love this superfood so much! They are rich in heart-healthy omega’s, vegan, and give a great crunch.
  • Walnuts: You can use any nut you like. I personally like the flavor of walnuts in this recipe and they are full of antioxidants.
  • Granola: A classic in a yogurt parfait, you can’t go wrong with a simple honey granola! However, if you want to keep this a low glycemic, then skip this.
  • Peanut Butter: I recently added this to the recipe and wow it’s a game-changer! I bet almond butter or sunflower butter would be great too.

I’ve been eating some version of this most days a week for the past 3+ months and I still love it!

Save this for your next busy lunch 🤎

• Your favorite tortilla filled with ⅓ cup pinto beans, chicken breast, or ground turkey breast + jalapeño pepper jack cheese 🌯
• ⅓ avocado for healthy fats 🥑
• 2 Tbsp Greek yogurt for extra protein & in place of sour cream 🤍
• Hot sauce because I need a little spice 🌶️

I meal prep the beans (or meat if I’m switching it up) ahead of time, so the actual lunch comes together in about 5 minutes.

I love that I get protein + carbs + healthy fats + fiber in one easy lunch without spending forever making it.

Moving my body, getting outside, eating nourishing meals, making time to be silly with my kids, and keeping a few little routines that I genuinely enjoy.

It’s not about doing everything perfectly — it’s about finding the simple things that help me feel like a happier, more present mom. 🤍

What’s one little habit that always makes you feel better?
