A yogurt or smoothie bowl for breakfast can be simple, delicious, and with endless ways to switch them up, you won’t get bored!
To get started: For a yogurt bowl, simply begin with a base of your favorite yogurt! Or for a smoothie bowl, start with your favorite smoothie recipe.
When it comes to selecting a yogurt to use as the base of your yogurt bowl or smoothie - a go to brand of yogurt (actually skyr) that I love is siggi’s. What is great about siggi’s is that it is very creamy because it is strained and does not have much added sugar! Plus I love that siggi’s has five different live and active cultures , to deliver a diverse mix of probiotics to support gut health. Also in their product line-up siggi’s has a line of plant-based options that are coconut-based and have about 10 grams of protein from pea protein, which is 3 x more protein than other plant-based yogurt options.
While I have enjoyed this brand of yogurt for several years and recently, I was recently sent a delivery of siggi’s yogurt samples and many of those samples turned into yogurt and smoothie bowls (some were enjoyed just as is!). Check out some favorite smoothie bowl recipes below!
Next pick your toppings!
Some favorite toppings include: granola, blueberries, sliced banana, fresh mango cubes, dried fruit, sliced strawberries, chia seeds, a drizzle of honey, almonds, cashews, pistachios, shredded coconut, and peanut butter.
Then arrange the toppings of your choice on your yogurt or smoothie bowl and enjoy!
