Tips & Variations

If you want an extra boost of protein, you can add 1/2-1 scoop of protein powder to the Greek yogurt before hand and mix really well until smooth.
Feel free to mix up the flavor combinations to make your own perfect bowl.
You can also sprinkle a little granola at the bottom of the bowl before adding the yogurt for an extra layer of delicious granola.
If you have unsweetened Greek yogurt and you prefer to have the yogurt base sweetened beforehand, you can always add a little pure maple syrup or honey and mix to taste.
If you decide to make your own granola recipe, store it in an airtight container or bag in the freezer to keep it extra crispy and fresh.
You can also layer the ingredients to make it similar to a yogurt parfait.
