- 2Save the tangerine juice from segmenting and drizzle it over the bowl for extra brightness.
- 3Toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes to deepen their nutty flavor.
- 4Segment the tangerines over a bowl to catch juices, then use those juices in the bowl.
- 5Add the granola and nuts just before serving to keep them crunchy.
- 6For a thicker bowl, strain the Greek yogurt through cheesecloth overnight (makes labneh-style).
Adapt it for your goals.
Vegan
Swap Greek yogurt for a thick coconut or soy yogurt, and use agave or maple syrup instead of honey. Toasted coconut flakes can replace the sliced almonds for a tropical twist.
High ProteinHigh-Protein
Use a 0% fat Greek yogurt or skyr, add a scoop of unflavored protein powder to the yogurt, and top with hemp seeds and chopped walnuts for extra protein and healthy fats.
Low SugarLow-Sugar
Omit the honey and rely on the natural sweetness of very ripe tangerines. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the yogurt for flavor without sugar.
Citrus MedleyCitrus Medley
Replace one tangerine with a blood orange and another with a pink grapefruit segment. The mix of citrus colors and flavors makes the bowl more vibrant and complex.
SpicedSpiced
Stir a pinch of cardamom and a dash of orange blossom water into the yogurt before assembling. Top with pistachios instead of almonds for a Middle Eastern-inspired flavor.
