Yogurt Bowl Recipe

Place 1 cup plain Greek yogurt in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and slightly sweetened. Taste and adjust sweetness to preference.

Prep strawberries and banana

Hull and slice strawberries until you have 1/2 cup. Peel and slice the banana to yield 1/2 cup. Place prepared fruit on a cutting board or small bowl.

Prepare remaining fruit

Rinse 1/4 cup blueberries and drain. Peel and slice 1/4 cup kiwi if using. Pat fruits dry with a paper towel to avoid watering down the yogurt bowl.

Layer yogurt

Spoon the sweetened yogurt into a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of the spoon.

Arrange fruits

Neatly arrange the sliced strawberries, banana, blueberries, and kiwi (if using) on top of the yogurt in sections or scatter them for a mixed look.

Add crunch and seeds

Sprinkle 1/2 cup granola evenly over one portion of the bowl, then scatter 2 tablespoons sliced almonds. Finish with 1 teaspoon chia or flax seeds if using.

Finish and serve

If desired, grate 1/4 teaspoon lemon or lime zest over the top for brightness. Drizzle an additional 1/2 teaspoon honey if you like it sweeter. Serve immediately to keep the granola crunchy.
