What Kind of Yogurt Should I Use?
The beauty of this simple recipe is that you can adapt it to your family’s tastes. We love vanilla Greek yogurt because it’s thick, creamy, and full of protein. Traditional vanilla yogurt would be another excellent option for your breakfast sundaes.
If you want to get creative, why not try different flavored yogurts, like strawberry or cherry?
You can even make this simple breakfast dairy-free or vegan by swapping out Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt. How delicious would that be?
The Best Fruit for Yogurt in a Breakfast Sundae
The flavor of Greek yogurt pairs well with various fruit, but a few types of fruit taste especially amazing when mixed with yogurt. If you’re wondering what kind of fruit to add to your yogurt, try:
- Berries, like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries
- Tropical fruits, like pineapple, bananas, coconut, kiwi, or mango
- Sweet fruits like peaches or apricots
If you want this to be more like a Breakfast Banana Split, make sure to include bananas!
How to Make - Step By Step Instructions
The process is basically the same, no matter how you make these sundaes. This idea works if you’re making this simple breakfast recipe for your kids before they head off for school or you’re letting them put together their own yogurt sundaes.
Step 1 - Fill Cups with Yogurt
Begin by setting out four small bowls and filling each with ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt.
Step 2 - Add Fruit
Divide your chopped fruit (like strawberries and bananas) evenly across each of the bowls, then sprinkle granola over the top of the fruit to add a little crunch.
Step 3 - Add Toppings
Top each breakfast sundae with mini chocolate chips, almonds, and sprinkles for some sweetness.
Step 4 - Garnish
Finish by garnishing your sundaes with sliced strawberries. Add a drizzle of honey over the top of all the ingredients.
Then grab your spoon and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
These breakfast sundaes couldn’t be easier to make, but with these simple tips, you’ll be ready to whip up your sundaes for breakfast in no time.
- With all the fresh ingredients in this breakfast dish, it’s best to enjoy them right after making them to ensure they taste amazing.
- Since this simple breakfast recipe includes various textures and flavors, it's essential to create uniform sizes so you can enjoy all those flavors in each bite. When chopping your fruit for the sundaes, make sure to cut each piece into bite-sized chunks. This way, the fruit pieces aren’t too large when enjoyed with all the other bowl elements.
- If you’re not in a hurry and want to make this breakfast a little more fun for your kids, try turning your breakfast sundaes into a sundae bar. Spoon the yogurt into a bowl for each family member, then set out all the ingredients in separate bowls. Place a spoon in each dish so everyone can scoop out what they want for their sundaes, creating an interactive breakfast your kids are sure to love.
- Serve your yogurt breakfast in cute sundae bowls or fluted dessert glasses to make this recipe even more fun. This adds another exciting element to this unique breakfast idea.
