Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowls

greek yogurt breakfast bowls

Every night after dinner, I put together Zach’s breakfast and lunch for the following work day. He absolutely loves the Chobani Flips but it’s not really enough for breakfast- I think they’re more like a snack and want to make sure he gets a breakfast that’s well balanced.

I recently decided to do a little experimenting with making my own “Flips” and these Greek yogurt breakfast bowls have quickly became his go-to breakfast!

While pondering a solution to the whole “flip” container, I came across this one on Amazon. I use it differently than it shows, putting the yogurt and fruit in the bottom and the toppings in the top compartment so that it can be “flipped”.

I also removed the little spoon since I put the yogurt on the bottom…no one wants a yogurt covered spoon.

Because he also requests these on weekends (I keep waiting for him to get yogurt burnout), I normally just put them in a bowl and use the handy Sistema breakfast container to put in the lunch box since it doesn’t leak.

Here are the combinations I’ve come up with so far:

Raspberry

1/2 cup red raspberries
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt

In the top compartment:

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons granola
  • 1 tablespoon chopped raw almonds
  • 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
Blueberry

1/2 cup blueberries
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt

In the top compartment:

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons granola
  • 1 tablespoon chopped raw almonds
  • 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
Strawberry

1/2 cup chopped strawberries
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt

In the top compartment:

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons granola
  • 1 tablespoon chopped raw almonds
  • 2 tablespoons white or milk chocolate chips
Banana Pecan

1/2 cup cutup bananas
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt

In the top compartment:

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons granola
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon honey
Mixed Berry

1/2 cup mixed berried (raspberry, blueberry & blackberry)
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt

In the top compartment:

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons granola
  • 1 tablespoon chopped raw almonds
  • 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
Nectarine

1/2 cup chopped nectarines
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt

In the top compartment:

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons granola
  • 1 tablespoon chopped raw almonds
  • 1 tablespoon honey
Coconut Banana

1/2 cup cut up bananas
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt

In the top compartment:

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons granola
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons milk or dark chocolate chips

These work equally well with frozen fruits! I would just recommend putting them together the night before so they have time to thaw overnight in the fridge.

Using different flavors of greek yogurt also adds a different dimension! Try vanilla, banana, coconut, etc.!

What combos would you use?
