There’s something truly comforting about a warm breakfast bowl filled with creamy almond yogurt and vibrant frozen fruits. It’s like a hug in a bowl, ready to brighten your morning.

What You Need

Steps to Make It

1. Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter. It makes the process smoother and more enjoyable. Plus, it’s easier to find what you need when you’re in a hurry!
2. In a large bowl, combine the almond yogurt and rolled oats. Stir until the oats are well-coated. You want everything to blend together nicely, creating a creamy base.
3. Next, add in the frozen mixed berries. Gently fold them into the yogurt mixture. The berries should start to thaw slightly, giving a lovely color to your breakfast bowl.
4. Now, stir in the nut butter. This will add a rich creaminess and delicious flavor. Make sure it’s well mixed; you want every bite to have that nutty goodness.
5. Add the natural sweetener and chia seeds. Mix everything together until well combined. The chia seeds will help thicken the mixture as they absorb moisture, so don’t skip this step!
6. Divide the mixture into bowls or jars. Cover them with lids or plastic wrap if you’re storing them for later. They’re perfect for grabbing on the go or enjoying at home.

Make It Perfect

• Feel free to swap out the almond yogurt for coconut or soy yogurt if you prefer.
• If you want a creamier texture, let the bowls sit in the fridge overnight before eating.
• Top with fresh fruits or nuts just before serving for added crunch and flavor.
• These bowls can be eaten cold or warmed up in the microwave for a cozy breakfast.

Mix It Up

• Try adding sliced bananas or apples for extra sweetness.
• Mix in some cinnamon or vanilla extract for a flavor boost.
• Experiment with different nut butters like cashew or sunflower seed butter.

Perfect Partners

• Pair with a smoothie for a complete breakfast.
• Serve alongside a cup of herbal tea or coffee for a cozy morning routine.
