Tips for Making the Best Yogurt with Granola Ever
Mix and match: Yogurt with granola is all about customization, so don't be afraid to mix and match different flavors of yogurt, fruits, nuts, and crunchy granola. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
Use fresh ingredients: For the most flavor and health benefits, make sure to use fresh (and preferably organic) ingredients.
Add some toppings: Don't forget the toppings! Adding crunchy nuts, hemp seeds, coconut, or other superfoods is a great way to add flavor, texture, and extra nutrition.
Recipe Variation Ideas for Yogurt with Granola
Just about anything can go into your Yogurt with Granola! The sky is the limit here so be creative and have fun. Here are some great recipe variation ideas you can try:
- Fruit: Some of my absolute favorites are raspberries, strawberries, huckleberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Kiwi and pomegranate also make great additions!
- Nut butter: Almond butter, cashew butter, or peanut butter, drizzled or with a spoonful dolloped on top, makes this yogurt with granola a heavenly delight.
- Dried Fruit: Cherries, raisins, cranberries, currants, or chopped dates go great with the creamy texture of the yogurt.
- Nuts: Sliced almonds, chopped pecans, walnuts, or roasted pumpkin seeds are a great boost of plant-based protein.
- Jam/Sauce: Use a layer of jam or sauce to add some sweetness. One of my favorites is the homemade strawberry sauce.
- Powder: Collagen, protein, and cacao powder are great choices and very nutritious additions to your yogurt with granola.
- Sweetener: Honey or maple syrup is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth. You can also sprinkle some chocolate chips on top.
How to Store Leftover Yogurt with Granola
Yogurt with granola can be stored for 3-4 days in the refrigerator which makes it a great recipe for meal planning. For best results, top the yogurt and berry mix with your crunchy toppings and fruits right before serving. I don't recommend freezing this recipe since it'll completely change the consistency and texture.
