Ingredients for Greek yogurt bowls in bowls with labels over each ingredient.

Greek yogurt – the base of these yogurt bowls is good quality Greek yogurt. I noted my favorite brands above. You can use plain, or flavored, whatever you like. Full fat or nonfat is fine too.
Yogurt base add in’s – good tasting protein powder ( I recommend vanilla, chocolate, strawberry) for extra protein, nut butters or PB2 powder, honey or maple syrup for flavor, chia seeds, sugar free sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit are great too!
Fruit – I love berries, especially mashed raspberries to mix in and top the yogurt with. You can really use any fruit you like but here are some ideas: raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, mango, pineapple, kiwi, peaches, apples, bananas, orang segments or cherries.
Extras – granola, protein cereals (like Catalina Crunch or Magic Spoon), marshmallows, chocolate chips, nuts (I love pecans, almonds or walnuts), and shredded coconut.

Protein powder – I love vanilla, chocolate or strawberry mixed in with plain Greek yogurt for even more protein and flavor. Note: pick a good-tasting protein powder. We love Clean Simple Eats!
Chia seeds or flax seeds – mixed in with the yogurt for added fiber and nutrients.
Nut butter – I love protein nut butter like this one. You can also use almond butter, cashew butter or sunbutter. If you’re looking to keep the calories lower then PB2 is great as well.

The variations I shared are my favorites but here are some other topping ideas you may also like:

Fruit – fresh or frozen berries, peaches, pineapple, mango, dragon fruit, kiwi, or cherries all work great! You can really use any fruit you like!
Cereals or granola – I love to add something crunchy to my yogurt bowl. We love any granola (preferably low in sugar), protein cereals like Catalina Crunch or Magic Spoon, cornflakes are great too! I also sometimes add crumbled up homemade cookies or energy balls that I may have left from my meal prep!
Dried fruit – dried cranberries, raisins, mango, banana, apricots, pineapple and kiwi are my faves. Currents, dried blueberries or these crunchies are great as well.
Coconut – shredded coconut or coconut chips add a yummy tropical flavor and healthy fat that is delicious!
Rice cakes – plain, chocolate or caramel rice cakes crushed up are great for added texture.

Expert Tips

Chop the fruit smaller to make it easier to mix in and eat.
Don’t add too many toppings since the calories can add up quickly. Which is why I like to measure them out.
Enjoy these yogurt bowls right away! They do not store well once assembled since they can get watery.
To make ahead, keep chopped fruits like berries, pineapple, kiwi, mango, and peaches ready to go in the fridge.
