Almond Butter Breakfast Bowl Recipe

plain greek yogurt

almond butter

glutenull quiona granola

cacao nibs

banana, sliced

berries

Place greek yogurt in a bowl: 

Measure 1/2 cup of plain yogurt and place it in a bowl. The higher the fat content, the creamier the yogurt. I generally use organic, 2% greek yogurt..

Sprinkle granola on top of yogurt

 Add 2 tablespoons of glutenull quinoa granola on top of the yogurt. You can replace this with another brand or homemade granola. Just watch the sugar content on the granola you select, as these can often be full of hidden sugars. 

Slice a

 banana and place in a row across yogurt: Place sliced banana across the top of the bowl. I use 1/2 a banana to lower the sugar content.

Add a handful of frozen or fresh berries of your choice

Place berries next to the banana on top of the yogurt. I use raspberries and blueberries most frequently. 

Top with almond butter and cacao nibs: 

Finally, top the bowl with1 tablespoon of almond butter and 1 tablespoon of cacao nibs.

I didn't have that granola brand so I used a different one. It turned out great. I don't know why I haven't thought of adding almond butter to my yogurt parfaits before? Delicious. Thanks!
