28 Yogurt Upgrades You Should Eat for Breakfast Every Damn Day (2024)

  1. Top with sliced bananas for a healthier take on a banana cream pie.

  2. Fresh fruit is a classic topping, but sweet vegetables like white beets are a surprisingly excellent addition, too.

  3. Top with chewy crystallized ginger for the perfect mix of sweet and heat.

  4. Use yogurt as the base for a fruity, creamy mango lucuma pudding.

  1. Turn whole-milk Greek yogurt into a sweet and refreshing fruit granita.

  2. Make a crumble for coconutty goodness in every bite.

  3. Switch up your yogurt rotation with non-dairy, coconut probiotic yogurt.

  4. Try any of these topping combinations:

Granola + Maple Syrup

The ultimate classic: Tangy, creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and sweet maple. Perfection in a bowl.

Preserved Lemon + Dill

A jar of preserved lemon will keep well in the fridge. Finely chop a tablespoon of that, along with a teaspoon of dill, and swirl in.

Rhubarb + Dates + Orange Zest

Roasting a big batch of rhubarb with heady spices and sweet honey will provide you with a week's worth of add-ins.

Sautéed Garlic + Sumac + EVOO

Sumac's astringent, tangy flavor is rounded out with garlic. A drizzle of olive oil lends richness.

Maple Syrup + Walnuts

Better yet, make a large batch of wet walnuts that are infused with flavor from the inside-out.

Chia Seed + Pomegranate + Pistachio

Pomegranate seeds and juice add tartness, and pistachio gives chia pudding extra crunch.

Sautéed Mushrooms + Cooked Wheat Berries + Walnut Oil

This is also an excellent lunch or dinner yogurt.

Harissa + Sautéed Onions + Garlic

Slice the garlic thinly and add it to the pan once the onions are almost done, so they don't burn.

Pineapple + Crushed Pink Peppercorns

Use a spice grinder or mortar and pestle to grind the peppercorns—you don't want to crunch down on a whole one.

Cacao Nibs + Agave + Chia

Who doesn't love chocolate for breakfast? Cacao nibs are unsweetened, so use agave, honey, or maple along with them.

Sautéed Spinach + Nutmeg + Kosher Salt

Let yogurt stand in for heavy cream in this breakfast-friendly version of creamed spinach.

Pomegranate Molasses + Tahini + Almonds

Tangy, sour, sweet, and creamy. Feel free to sub date syrup with lemon zest for a similar flavor to pomegranate molasses.

Grated Raw Beet + Toasted Caraway Seed

As a bonus, the beet will turn your yogurt pink.

Orange Flower Water + Pine Nuts + Figs

Buttery pine nuts are a perfect match for sweet figs and perfumey orange flower water. Use chopped dried figs if fresh aren't available.

Roasted Butternut Squash + Curry Powder + EVOO

Season the squash with curry powder before roasting to infuse it with flavor. An extra drizzle of olive oil for the finish won't hurt.

Chopped Apple + Cinnamon + Brown Sugar

Season the apple with the cinnamon-sugar mixture a few minute before mixing it in, and the flavors will really shine.

Sliced Radishes + Sea Salt + Black Pepper

French breakfast radishes are mild, while Black Spanish radishes are ultra-spicy. Find your ideal radish here.

Sunflower Seeds, Chocolate Chips, and Raisins
