    5 Easy Healthy Yogurt Bowl Ideas

    I love starting off my morning with a healthy, hearty breakfast and I think it's so important to get my kids well-fed in the morning so that they are ready to learn, grow, and explore in their day. Healthy yogurt bowls are one of my very favorite ways to encourage healthy eating in the morning and today I'm sharing five recipes to get your breakfast ideas flowing.

    I have found that when I have a great morning, it leads to a great day. I try to start my mornings early before the house wakes up and spend some time reading, praying, writing, and then working. Getting the kids up and moving and serving a healthy breakfast is always next on the list. When I can start my day like this, I'm more likely to have a good, centered, healthy day moving forward.

    Simple, healthy yogurt bowls are one of my favorite quick and easy breakfasts that are high in protein, healthy fats, and fiber, but are low in simple carbs and extra sugar. Just what our minds and bodies need.

    5 quick, simple, and healthy yogurt bowl ideas are packed with nutrition and will help you get excited about eating a healthy breakfast (or snack!).

    Tips and Tricks for Making Healthy Yogurt Bowls

    • I love to serve this meal as a DIY buffet. I'll cut up assorted fruits and place them on a plate, put out the yogurt, and then fill up a muffin tin with a small amount of additional "extras". I'll add my nuts, seeds, granola, and anything else that I might have to the cups of the muffin tin and then my kids can dish up what they like.
    • This is a great way to use seasonal fruit! If what you love isn't in season, feel free to use frozen fruit. It's just as delicious!
    • I serve unsweetened yogurt and if the kids think they need a little something extra, I'll give it a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. The fruit and extras add enough sweet to the whole dish that sweetened or flavored yogurt isn't necessary.
    • I like to use plain Greek yogurt for our healthy yogurt bowls (here's how I make my own yogurt in the slow cooker). You can use whatever yogurt you like, including non-dairy yogurts like coconut or almond milk yogurts.
    • If you are new to buying "specialty" ingredients (that are so nutrient dense and good for you!), I'd suggest looking for them in the bulk bins of your local health food store. That way you can try a little without committing to a whole bag. I also have good luck with buying nuts and seeds at Costco, online at Nuts.com (they have tons of stuff including the unsweetened coconut, all of the nuts, and freeze-dried fruit, which is a big treat in this house). Amazon also has lots and lots of food items.

    I've included some of our favorite healthy yogurt bowl topping combinations to give you some ideas. Of course the possibilities are endless - there are so many different ways to make a great yogurt breakfast bowl. The one above is a very berry bowl made with plain Greek yogurt, pecans, toasted unsweetened coconut, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

      We love making smoothies with our Revablend. My favorite is with:
      Frozen banana, soy milk, cocoa powder and greek yogurt. Then I top it with granola, chia seeds, whole coconut milk and peanut butter. Yummy
