Jackfruit & Greek Yogurt Bowl
A vibrant, high-protein bowl featuring creamy Greek yogurt, sweet jackfruit, and crunchy toppings, perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast or snack.
For 1 serving
Prepare the Jackfruit: If using fresh jackfruit, carefully remove the seeds and any fibrous parts, then chop 1/2 cup of the fleshy pods into bite-sized pieces. If using canned jackfruit, drain it thoroughly and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
Assemble the Base: Spoon 3/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt into your chosen serving bowl.
Add Sweetness (Optional): If desired, drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt. You can gently stir it in or leave it as a layer for visual appeal.
Layer the Jackfruit: Arrange the chopped ripe jackfruit evenly over the Greek yogurt, ensuring it's distributed well.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and 1 tablespoon of chopped almonds over the jackfruit. For an extra layer of warmth and flavor, dust with 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your high-protein jackfruit and Greek yogurt bowl right away for the best texture and freshness. Stir everything together just before eating, if preferred.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For Extra Crunch: Enhance the texture by adding a tablespoon of your favorite granola, toasted coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of hemp seeds.
- 2Meal Prep Friendly: Portion Greek yogurt into a container and keep toppings (jackfruit, nuts, seeds) in a separate small bag or container. Combine just before eating to prevent sogginess and maintain freshness.
- 3Ripeness Matters: Ensure your jackfruit is ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor. Ripe jackfruit will have a strong, sweet aroma and yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- 4Customize Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your personal preference, or omit it entirely if your jackfruit is very sweet.
