Why You Want Greek Yogurt with Berries for Breakfast

Greek yogurt bowls are one of my favorite quick-fix breakfasts because they’re ready in minutes. Whether you make ahead or throw together last-minute, Greek yogurt bowls are satisfying and won’t keep you waiting. They’re full of yummy stuff: creamy yogurt, crunchy nuts and seeds, sweet berries, and honey. Not to mention the powerhouse of nutrients: protein, polyphenols, and antioxidants! Greek yogurt bowls are also versatile. You could mix up which berries you use, toy around with the flavor of yogurt, or pump up the protein.

Benefits of Greek Yogurt Bowls for Breakfast

What makes this recipe stand out are the three “P”s: protein, powders, and polyphenols! Briefly, the first two ingredients are great at keeping you full. Greek yogurt is stocked with protein, a great source of daily macros. In this recipe alone, there are 20 grams of protein. Boost that number even higher by adding peanut butter, protein powder, or fix an egg on the side to pair with your yogurt bowl. While protein is great, as a cancer survivor, I care more about polyphenols.

Polyphenols are TERRIFIC cancer-fighting foods. Polyphenols have been shown to:
•Protect DNA from oxidative damage
•Help damaged cells self-destruct instead of mutating
•Reduce chronic inflammation (a major driver of cancer)

Several ingredients in my Greek yogurt bowls are HIGH in polyphenols, but there are so many to name! Matcha (green tea powder), Dark Berries, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Walnuts, Pomegranate Seeds, Dark Chocolate/Raw Cacao, Fruit Leaf Tea, Legumes, Cloves (and strong spices), and Fresh Herbs are excellent sources of polyphenols. In this recipe alone, you’ll find matcha, berries, and walnuts! Support your cells even more by switching it up and adding pomegranate seeds or dark chocolate shavings to your yogurt.

How To Make Greek Yogurt Bowls with Berries

Start with a good-quality base of Greek yogurt. Again, you can choose a brand or a flavor based on preference, or try making a batch at home. Just opt for one not loaded with sugar. I prefer plain Greek yogurt because the honey and berries will do the sweetening here.

Step 1: To your yogurt base, add matcha powder, chia seeds or flaxseed meal, and honey. Whisk until smooth. The matcha may clump, but keep on whisking!

Step 2: Add your fruit. I like using a combination of frozen berries, thawed overnight or warmed slightly in the microwave. I enjoy this juicy, compote texture, but you could use fresh berries too. Just pour berries right on top.

Step 3: Top with a handful of walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon. The walnuts give it a nice crunch!

Voila! A delicious and nutritious breakfast (or dessert, or snack) is ready to serve. Don’t you love how easy that is? Literally 5 minutes to prepare! Give yourself the gift of a simple, nourishing breakfast, sure to give you energy, fuel your body, and taste delicious!
