A quick and easy Greek yogurt bowl featuring creamy yogurt, fresh pomegranate seeds, crunchy granola, and a drizzle of honey. Perfect for a bright, healthy breakfast or snack with a fresh, nostalgic vibe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat Greek yogurt (or low-fat if preferred)
  • ½ cup (about 75 g) fresh pomegranate seeds
  • ¼ cup (30 g) granola (nutty with a hint of cinnamon recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pomegranate: Cut pomegranate into halves using a sharp paring knife. Hold each half over a bowl and tap the back with a wooden spoon to release the seeds (about 5 minutes). Set aside ½ cup (75 g) of seeds.
  2. Mix the yogurt base: In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt. Stir in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey and ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract if using. Mix gently but thoroughly until smooth and slightly glossy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Assemble the bowl: Spoon the yogurt mixture into your serving bowl, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon (1 minute).
  4. Add the toppings: Sprinkle ¼ cup (30 g) granola evenly over the yogurt, followed by the fresh pomegranate seeds. Optionally, sprinkle 1 teaspoon chia seeds for extra nutrition (1-2 minutes).
  5. Garnish: Finish with a few fresh mint leaves for color and aroma (optional but recommended).
  6. Serve immediately for best freshness and crunch.

Notes

Use thick, creamy Greek yogurt for best texture. De-seed pomegranate over a large bowl or sink to avoid mess. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. Chia seeds can be stirred into yogurt base and left to plump for 5-10 minutes for a pudding-like texture. Vanilla extract adds warmth and rounds out flavors. For dairy-free, substitute yogurt and granola accordingly. Prep yogurt base ahead but add toppings fresh.
