A super easy breakfast recipe!
I laugh when people leave angry comments on my blog, complaining my recipes are too simple, like this is a bad thing. In reality, it’s my goal to offer ideas and recipes that don’t require a Ph.D or a bunch of obscure ingredients. I want the recipes to be as simple as possible, and I sometimes even remake ones I think are too complicated, before posting them on the blog.
We grow up in a society that emphasizes the notion: more is more; and the laundry lists of ingredients on our packaged foods grow longer by the minute. With so much being thrown at us, it’s beneficial to work at taking specific steps to simplify our lives as much as possible. For example, why make a recipe with twenty ingredients when something with five can taste just as delicious? Today’s yogurt bowl is one of my favorite healthy breakfast recipes, with just three ingredients.
No expensive protein powders, superfood berries, or wheatgrass… just yogurt, milk, and fresh fruit!
The Yogurt Breakfast Bowl
(serves 1)
- 1 cup frozen raspberries (110g)
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup milk of choice (120g) (depending on desired thickness)
- 6 oz plain or vanilla yogurt of choice (I like Wholesoy.)
- Especially if using an unsweetened milk, you’ll probably wish to add a little sweetener of choice
Blend all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet until smooth. Pour into a bowl. On really hot days, I like to now put the bowl in the freezer for up to an hour. Top with your favorite granola, fresh fruit, etc. (My favorite summer breakfast: this yogurt recipe, extra raspberries on top, and peanut butter slathered on some fresh HSH chia bread from Whole Foods.)
Question of the Day:
Is your life complicated, with people and obligations pulling you in all different directions?
Sometimes when things get really stressful, I fantasize about moving to Hawaii… and not bringing my computer or cell phone. Just me, a beach blanket, and a giant coconut filled with fresh coconut water, lounging under the sun. All day, every day. How amazing does that sound?
Link of the Day:
I can’t believe people would complain about something like that. I think if your blog had really busy and complicated recipes, it would intimidate a lot of people (myself included, lol). I live in a small town where specialty foods and ingredients are really hard to find, so I am always grateful for easy, delicious recipes that have accessible ingredients.
This breakfast bowl looks delicious!
Hawaii isn’t just a tropical vacation 24/7. People who reside here deal with the same problems as people do around the world. Geographic location doesn’t necessarily determine one’s level of happiness or stress.
SERIOUSLY! I am so sure that I have told you in previous comments that the reason I LOVE your blog is because your recipes are simple AND delish! I have enough going on in my world to complicate it with food!!!
This is so simple, yet so delicious! I love how simple so many of your recipes are!
I just recently took out a huge portion of the complications in my life and I am so much happier! Hawaii does sound fabulous though. If you ever run away to there, I hope some of us are able to go with you! 🙂
Oh my so at a THAT’S how they make flavored yogurt… Duh now I feel stupid I was just wondering this the other day. I once made some soy yogurt and it tasted awful and beany (like the after taste from wholesoy times ten) maybe this would be a good idea to fix it!
Honestly I don’t care if your recipes are simple, because I would have never thought of that myself
Do you have recipes that are wheat free?
All of her gluten-free recipes are wheat free. Here’s a link to her information on that:

Finally got around to trying this one, and I really liked it! Makes a huge bowl but still so light and refreshing to eat. I used plain Greek yogurt and blueberries, and the color and flavor was so lovely! Thanks for another winner, Katie!
Your website has become a regular in our family. In the midst of eliminating lots of unhealthy food we are grateful that chocolate can stay. With your recipes and talent for writing, and of course the chocolate, things have become easier.
Thank you so much for the extraordinary work you do.
On the other hand i came across one of your recipes- Sex in a pan??? Guess who loves chocolate and doesn’t need to think about sex– that’s right… children.
Not an appropriate title!
Chocolate is a unique and special substance that brings unspeakable joy and pleasure and “sex” is also unique and special: priceless compared to chocolate – if it is in its appropriate “realm”; names of recipes on a website, that probably a lot of children like mine, link into, is not it’s sacred realm. Hope you will consider changing the name with some consideration for the innocence of children.
Sincerely, from
A mother who loves her innocent children and chocolate

I love your recipes, they are all so tasty and easy. I live in Hawaii and it is BEAUTIFUL here right now.
Your website completely amazes me and pleasantly surprises me every time I try a new recipe, the color of this yogurt was beautiful along with the great flavor! Thank you so much!
