Easy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bowl

All you need are 4 simple ingredients to make the base of this peanut butter yogurt bowl!

• creamy or crunchy peanut butter, unsweetened
• plain greek yogurt
• cinnamon
• honey

Full ingredient measurements and detailed instructions are located in the recipe card at the bottom of this post! Topping ideas are included below.

Here are some ways you can modify this recipe to meet your needs:

1. While I typically use plain Greek yogurt here, feel free to use a different type of yogurt. Icelandic-style Skyr is a similar, high-protein option. Regular yogurt has only about half the protein, but it’s a fine option too!
2. I typically recommend using a plain or non-flavoured yogurt, you could also go for vanilla (and then just skip the added honey or maple syrup!)
3. Feel free to use a creamy OR crunchy peanut butter, depending on your preferred texture 🙂
4. Instead of peanut butter, you can also do this with almond butter.
5. Instead of honey, you could also use maple syrup as a sweetener (or none at all).

Feel free to enjoy the greek yogurt and peanut butter on its own, or get creative with these different topping ideas:

• banana slices
• apple slices (either cut into small chunks and top the bowl, or cut into larger slices + dip them in!)
• berries, like blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries (fresh, frozen, or heated up!)
• chia jam
• granola
• chocolate chips
• raisins

What I love about this recipe is that it’s packed with quality protein and healthy fats. Protein and fats digest slower than carbohydrates, and they also help to prevent any spikes and crashes in blood sugar.

This combination of nutrients makes it super filling and satisfying – exactly what we want from a breakfast or snack!

While this is a great recipe to quickly whip up at home, it’s also a great option for packing with you as a healthy snack!

Simply add all the ingredients to a small airtight container with a lid. Be sure to store it in the fridge or eat it as soon as possible (yogurt shouldn’t be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours).

TIP: This is also a great snack to put together on the go! When I lived in NYC, I often purchased a small yogurt container, a package of peanut butter (one of those squeezable ones), and a banana at my favourite bodega and threw this together before my evening grad school classes. Many grocery stores, corner stores, or even gas stations will carry these ingredients!
