Greek Yogurt Granola Bowl: Mediterranean Fruit Breakfast
This Greek yogurt granola with fruit bowl relies on the contrast between creamy yogurt and crisp grains. Stir honey and vanilla extract into the yogurt to balance the acidity. Add the low‑sugar granola last and toss lightly. This prevents the grains from absorbing moisture, ensuring the texture remains crunchy against the soft berries. Pat your fruit dry after washing to stop excess water from thinning the yogurt base.

Instructions
-
Prepare the fruit
Wash the berries under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel to prevent excess moisture from thinning the yogurt. Hull and slice the strawberries into bite-size pieces.
-
Sweeten the yogurt
Place the Greek yogurt in the mixing bowl. Drizzle the honey over the top and add the vanilla extract. Stir gently until the honey is fully incorporated for a consistent flavour.
-
Add the granola
Add the low-sugar granola to the yogurt mixture. Give it a light toss so the granola coats the yogurt. Do not overmix so the grains remain crunchy.
-
Layer the berries
Spread the sliced strawberries, blueberries and raspberries evenly over the granola-yogurt layer. Ensure the fruit is distributed across the surface for a balanced bite.
-
Finish with almond butter
Drizzle the almond butter over the top if you choose. This adds a nutty flavour and provides a touch of extra protein to the bowl.
-
Serve the bowl
Serve the dish immediately. You may spoon the contents into a mason jar if you require an on-the-go breakfast.
Granola softens quickly once it contacts the moisture in the yogurt. If you notice the texture becoming chewy rather than crisp, you have mixed it too thoroughly or let it sit too long. Always add the granola right before serving to maintain the crunch.
What to serve with it
Serve this bowl with a side of toasted whole-grain bread to create a heartier meal. For added warmth, dust the top with ground cinnamon. You can also sprinkle chia seeds over the yogurt to include healthy omega-3s in your breakfast.
Making it ahead
Spoon the ingredients into a mason jar for an on-the-go breakfast. To keep the granola crunchy, layer the fruit on top and add the granola only right before you serve the dish. This prevents the dry oats from absorbing moisture from the yogurt.
Storing and reheating
Keep refrigerated portions in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Do not leave the bowl uncovered at room temperature for more than 1 hour to prevent the fruit from becoming mushy. Never freeze the bowl, as the yogurt will separate during thawing.
Getting the texture right
Toss the granola lightly into the yogurt mixture to ensure it coats the yogurt without losing its crunch. Use a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the natural sweetness of the berries and balance the creamy texture of the Greek yogurt.
