A good breakfast is what everyone is looking for. No matter what you’re trying to go for, greek yogurt is always an easy, go-to choice. But, just plain yogurt can get a little boring after a while. Let me help you out a bit; you need to try some greek yogurt toppings to add some flavor to your morning meal.
Not sure what goes good with greek yogurt? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Pretty much anything you can imagine would be good as a yogurt topping. Here’s a few suggestions for the next time your morning yogurt needs some flavor:
1. Granola
You might think this is a given (which it kind of is), but granola can add flavor to any greek yogurt you’re having. There’s a flavor of granola out there to go with every flavor of yogurt – you just have to know where to find it.
2. Banana
Bananas make the perfect greek yogurt topping for any occasion. But, maybe you need something else to stay your taste buds. You can pair banana with some peanut butter (or even Nutella) to add a little extra flavor to your greek yogurt.
3. Berries
Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries – there’s too many berries to pick just one. If you’re as indecisive as I am, then just add each berry to your greek yogurt. You can’t go wrong when berries taste so good (and pair great with your morning yogurt).
4. Chia Seeds
Chia seeds can add that much-needed crunch to your morning yogurt. It’s kind of like adding granola but without all the extra calories and sugar that granola can bring. It’s healthy and delicious.
5. Nuts
Mixing nuts with your morning greek yogurt is like a creative way of having granola. The nuts will offer different tastes, and you can mix and match which ones go best with your favorite yogurt flavor. It doesn’t matter which ones you add (I’d go with almonds, but that’s just me), they’ll taste delicious either way.
6. Coconut Flakes
This topping options is yet another way to add some crunch to your greek yogurt. Not only will you love the taste, but you’ll also be using a topping that most people won’t think of. Looks like you’re about to start a trend among your friends.
7. Chocolate Chips
If you have a sweet tooth, then this topping is just what you’ve been looking for. Sure, it might take away some of the healthiness that the greek yogurt brings to your morning, but it is so worth it. And, it doesn’t matter which yogurt flavor you pair it with because, let’s face it, chocolate goes good with anything.
8. Honey
This won’t give your yogurt and crunch, but it sure will add some sweetness. Finding a greek yogurt flavor that goes well with this topping might be a little difficult. Don’t worry though, it will go great with plain greek yogurt (and add that much-needed sweetness, too).
9. Fruit Jelly
Here’s another greek yogurt topping that goes great with plain yogurt. It’s a smart idea if you’re trying to watch your sugar intake, since most flavored greek yogurt contain a lot of sugar. But, adding some fruit jelly to your plain greek yogurt will give you flavor without having to overdo it on the sugar.
10. Dried Fruit
If you don’t want to add fresh fruit to your morning yogurt but want a fruit flavor, then dried fruit is just what you need. Don’t stress is you think that this option isn’t too healthy, because it actually is.
11. Wheat Germ
Adding this to your greek yogurt might make you a little more open to eating this food. It might look a little gross, but it actually has a lot of health benefits. Plus, it adds some texture to your kind of boring greek yogurt – that’s just what you need.
Boring greek yogurt breakfasts are thing of the past after learning about all of these greek yogurt toppings. Whether you want to mix and match or add something by itself, there’s no way you’ll eat your yogurt without a topping again.
