This yogurt bowl recipe is one of my favorite healthy breakfasts. Creamy yogurt is loaded with fresh fruit, homemade granola, and nuts, and a maple syrup drizzle. It's a super easy breakfast that can be enjoyed during a relaxing weekend, a casual brunch, or even on the go.
Yogurt and granola bowl ingredients
- Greek yogurt - Use nonfat Greek yogurt, whole milk yogurt, or go all in and make Instant Pot Greek yogurt.
- banana - Sliced in half.
- orange - Use blood oranges or navel oranges. Grapefruit is delicious too!
- kiwi fruit - These are widely available year round.
- pomegranate arils - These are fresh during winter months and available in packaging during off season.
- granola - Use any variety. Homemade granola is always best for savings and being able to choose healthy ingredients.
- walnuts - Any nuts will work for yogurt bowls.
- maple syrup - Or another liquid sweetener such as date syrup or coconut syrup.
How to make yogurt bowls
- Scoop your favorite yogurt into a bowl
- Add any combination of fresh fruit, granola, chopped nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

The best fruit for yogurt bowls
I used fall and winter produce for this recipe, specifically blood oranges, pomegranate, and kiwifruit. My general rule for a yogurt bowl – use what's in season. Check out this awesome seasonal fruit guide for reference if you need to check what's in season in your area.
The best yogurt for this recipe
This is a matter of opinion based on your dietary needs. I love my zero-fat Greek yogurt like there's no tomorrow. It's one of my go-to ingredients in so many recipes because I love the creamy, dreamy texture, all the protein, all the flavor, without the fat. There are so many yogurt varieties out there - even for vegans. By all means, use the one you love.

This is totally my kind of breakfast and I'm loving the seasonal fruit toppings. Blood oranges are my favorite and I'll be trying your recipe soon. I'm sure my family would love this too.

Donna says
We love a good yogurt/granola bowl for breakfast, especially as its so easy to personalize and take everyone's tastes into account! This one is so pretty, love the pop of color from the pomegranates!
Traci Antonovich says
Thank you Donna...would you believe those pomegranates are from the tree in our yard? The blood oranges too! Pinch me...I'm dreaming! 😉
Trish says
What an awesome breakfast! All those colors..... :). I agree that it's best to use what's in season and there are so many great winter fruits. I'll be trying this one for sure!
Traci Antonovich says
Thanks so much Trish! We're so lucky to have these winter fruits! 🙂
Debra says
That looks gorgeous. Love blood oranges and would never have thought to include them in a granola bowl. Great idea and the citrus is so good right now. The simplicity of this breakfast is really speaking my language.
Traci Antonovich says
Thanks Debra! It's one of my favorite combos for a yogurt bowl 🙂
Dana says
OH HELLO. This is *perfection*! I make up yogurt bowls often, but mine are pretty lazy in comparison to this. I love the fruit variety here and the addition of crumbly granola, nuts, and maple syrup. I use maple syrup to sweeten all of my breakfasts—it is THE best <3
Traci Antonovich says
Yes Dana! You will love this combination if you're already on board with yogurt bowls! Thanks for the kind words 🙂
Tracy says
Now this is NOT the fruit and yogurt bowls my mom used to make! We got bananas and maaayyybbee grapes if we were lucky! And of course the granola wasn't homemade. These are SO gorgeous - that blood orange with poms and kiwi?! My mouth is watering. PLUS a homemade granola? Perfect for meal prepping - I think my daughter's going to have very different memories of the fruit and yogurt bowls HER mama made! 😉
Traci Antonovich says
Awww thanks Tracy! Omgosh you're so right about the kids today getting different food experiences from the old days LOL. I love it that you love this so much 🙂
Gloria says
Yes, it is all about healthy eating..., especially after the holidays. Grocery shopping this week included lots of fresh fruits and veggies. This looks like a great place to start with the fruit. I would even have this for lunch too. Great...love double duty recipes.
Traci Antonovich says
Thanks Gloria! Yep, all over this one for lunch too! 🙂 Happy New Year to you!
