Mulberry & Walnut Yogurt Bowl
This Mulberry & Walnut Yogurt Bowl is a quick, high-protein snack or breakfast, combining creamy Greek yogurt with sweet-tart mulberries and crunchy walnuts for a perfectly balanced treat.
For 1 serving
Gently wash the fresh mulberries under cool water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If your walnuts are not already chopped, roughly chop them into smaller pieces.
Spoon the plain Greek yogurt into your preferred serving bowl, ensuring it forms an even base.
Carefully arrange the washed mulberries over the surface of the yogurt, distributing them evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts generously over the mulberries and yogurt, followed by a light dusting of ground cinnamon.
If you prefer a sweeter bowl, drizzle the optional honey over the top of the ingredients.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and vibrant flavors. You may gently stir the ingredients together just before eating, if desired.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For enhanced flavor and crunch, lightly toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant before adding them to the bowl. Let them cool slightly.
- 2Adjust the sweetness to your preference. If your mulberries are very sweet, you might not need the honey. If they are tart, a bit more honey or maple syrup can balance the flavors.
- 3Ensure your Greek yogurt is cold for the most refreshing experience. Using full-fat Greek yogurt will yield a creamier texture, while non-fat options are lighter.
- 4If fresh mulberries are not in season, you can use frozen mulberries. Thaw them slightly in the refrigerator before adding, or add them frozen for a colder, icier texture.
