Ber and Yogurt Bowl
A refreshing and nutritious Ber and Yogurt Bowl, perfect for a quick breakfast or a satisfying snack. This simple recipe combines creamy Greek yogurt with the unique sweet-tart flavor of Indian Jujubes, topped with crunchy nuts and a hint of honey.
For 1 serving
Thoroughly wash the Indian Jujubes (Ber) under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean cloth.
Carefully cut each Ber in half or quarters, removing and discarding the central pit. Roughly chop the pitted Ber into bite-sized pieces.
Spoon the plain Greek yogurt into a serving bowl, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Arrange the chopped Ber pieces generously over the Greek yogurt.
If desired, drizzle the honey evenly over the fruit and yogurt.
Sprinkle the chopped almonds over the top for added crunch and healthy fats.
For an extra layer of warmth and flavor, dust lightly with cinnamon powder, if using.
Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Choose Ripe Ber: Select Ber that are firm, smooth, and have a reddish-brown hue for the best sweet-tart flavor. Avoid any with soft spots or blemishes.
- 2Toasted Nuts for Flavor: For an elevated taste, lightly toast your chopped almonds or other nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant before adding them to the bowl.
- 3Meal Prep Hack: Chop the Ber and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. This makes assembling your bowl even quicker on busy mornings.
- 4Yogurt Consistency: If you prefer a thinner consistency, stir a tablespoon of milk (dairy or non-dairy) into the Greek yogurt before layering.
Adapt it for your goals.
