Granola with Yogurt. The Perfect Breakfast Combo
Eating breakfast is one of the simplest ways to fuel your body and set the tone for a productive day. But what’s the perfect breakfast? For many, granola with yogurt is the ultimate answer—it’s nutritious, convenient, and endlessly versatile.
Whether you’re a busy professional or looking to elevate your morning routine, a granola bowl offers a delicious and healthy way to start your day. Discover why granola with yogurt deserves a permanent spot on your breakfast table and how you can customise it to match your lifestyle.
Why Granola with Yogurt is Good for You
Pairing granola with yogurt brings together the benefits of two incredible nutritional staples in a single, satisfying bowl.
Here’s what each brings to the table.
The Nutritional Power of Granola
Low sugar, high-quality granola is packed with fibre, vitamins, and minerals, making it a fantastic choice to fuel your mornings.
High Fibre Content
Most granola options are made with whole grains like oats, which are loaded with soluble fibre to keep you full. Fibre also improves digestion and stabilises blood sugar levels, helping you avoid those mid-morning energy crashes.
Vitamins and Minerals
Depending on the mix, granola may include nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. These can offer essential micronutrients like magnesium, iron, and antioxidants.
Sustained Energy Release
Traditional granola’s carb-heavy base, combined with its healthy fats and protein (from nuts and seeds), provides slow-releasing energy that carries you through even the busiest mornings.
Why Yogurt is a Breakfast Star
Pairing granola with yogurt strengthens the meal with protein, calcium, and gut-friendly probiotics.
Packed with Protein
Yogurt, particularly Greek or Icelandic varieties, contains high amounts of protein to maintain energy levels and keep you feeling satisfied.
Gut Health Booster
Fermented yogurts are rich in probiotics, which promote healthy digestion and support your immune system.
Bone Health
Yogurt is a great source of calcium, supporting strong bones and healthy teeth.
Finish it With Fruit
Adding fresh fruit enhances the flavour, texture, and nutritional value of your meal, completing the perfect combo
Burst of Vitamins and Antioxidants
Adding fruit to your granola and yogurt provides a wide range of essential vitamins and antioxidants. Fruits like berries, oranges, and kiwis are rich in vitamin C, while bananas and mangoes offer a boost of potassium and vitamin A. These nutrients support overall health, from improving skin to boosting immune function.
Natural Sweetness
Fruits bring natural sweetness to the mix, which can reduce the need for added sugars. Whether you use ripe strawberries, blueberries, or sliced peaches, the fruity flavours complement the tangy yogurt and crunchy granola perfectly, making your meal both delicious and nutritious.
Fiber for Digestive Health
Fruits like apples, pears, and berries are packed with soluble fibre, which aids in digestion and helps you feel full longer. This makes your granola and yogurt combo a satisfying and balanced choice for breakfast or a snack.
A Match Made in Breakfast Heaven
When combined, granola and yogurt complement one another nutritionally. Granola delivers complex carbohydrates and healthy fats, while yogurt contributes protein and probiotics. Add in the vitamin boost from fruit, and together they provide a perfectly balanced meal that keeps you energised and focused.

Try this smoothie granola bowl with raw cacao, coconut and banana.
A direct descendant of the acai bowl, the granola bowl (or smoothie bowl) is a refreshingly frosty bowl of breakfast goodness.
The key to the perfect granola breakfast bowl is of course good granola, and maybe a decent recipe or two. It can be tempting to throw the contents of the cupboard at the bowl in the name of good health, but a little restraint goes a long way. Mix and match your flavours and textures with a variety of bases, toppings and types of granola.
We have taken a basic frozen banana base and made it deliciously decadent with raw cacao. You can use any milk you like. For a more coconutty feel, you could even add some coconut cream. The crunch of granola goes so well against the creamy frozen base; try our honey and macadamia granola. Add an edge of bitter crunch with raw cacao nibs, and the creamy tones of fresh banana and coconut flakes. It tastes so good, and cacao is super good for you.
It can be tricky to get the perfect frozen texture, especially in a personal blender. The trick is to get it going first and once you have a smooth base, add more frozen banana to thicken it up. Leaving the frozen banana chunks to defrost for 15 minutes before blitzing really helps to get the perfect texture. You also need to work quickly and serve it before it melts. The contrast of temperatures and textures is so surprising though, especially if you have never experienced a smoothie bowl before.
Recipe for raw cacao, coconut and banana granola bowl
Frozen banana chunks, equivalent of 1.5 bananas
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
4 tbsp granola
1 tbsp cacao nibs
1 tbsp coconut flakes
1/2 banana, sliced
- Put half of the banana chunks in a blender with 1/2 cup of milk and blitz until smooth. At this stage it will be probably be quite runny.
- Add a little more milk, and the rest of the banana chunks, until it is thick and frosty.
- Blitz in the cacao powder.
- You should have something thicker than a smoothie but not as thick as nice cream.
- Transfer to a bowl, and top with granola, cacao nibs, coconut flakes and fresh banana slices.
- Eat immediately whilst still frozen.
