A vibrant and nutritious breakfast bowl combining creamy Greek yogurt with bittersweet dark chocolate and juicy pomegranate seeds, perfect for a quick, satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • ¼ cup (40 grams) fresh pomegranate seeds
  • 1 oz (28 grams) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of plain Greek yogurt with ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) of vanilla extract if using. Stir gently until smooth and creamy without overmixing.
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt if desired. Mix gently to combine, tasting to balance sweetness.
  3. Using a small knife, roughly chop 1 oz (28 grams) of dark chocolate into small chunks or shavings.
  4. Spoon the yogurt mixture into a serving bowl or jar, smoothing the top. Sprinkle ¼ cup (40 grams) of pomegranate seeds evenly over the yogurt.
  5. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon (5 grams) of chia seeds over the top if using.
  6. Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture. Avoid overmixing yogurt to keep it airy. Add mint leaves just before serving to keep them fresh. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with almond or coconut yogurt. Do not blend chocolate with yogurt to maintain texture contrast.
