The decision between eating and sleeping is often a difficult one. Feeling fatigued seems like a normal symptom of college life, but health is important. With a busy schedule, there’s no time to waste; change your breakfast game with personalized yogurt bowls. Go Greek for yogurt or find your favorite plain yogurt to be a blank canvas for your delicious work of art.

Rise and shine with these delectable breakfast bowl ideas which will make your morning a little brighter.

 

Very Berry

Pack a punch of antioxidants with the very berry trinity: raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. The berry bunch combined with honey oat clusters is a classic match. Sprinkle the oats in the center and decorate the outer layer with berries to your liking with greek yogurt. The bitter yogurt will combat the sweetness of the berries.

Cherry Bomb

Make your breakfast bowl the best with a cherry on top! This simple recipe calls for a handful of almond roasted bunches of oats (Honey Bunches of Oats cereal) and a handful of red cherries. Cut some of the cherries in half to let the juice mix with the yogurt for a sensationally sweet pairing.

Tropical Paradise

Summertime is on the horizon and so are citrusy flavors. Make your bowl pop with pineapples, mangoes and slices of mandarin oranges. This pocketful of sunshine is a delicious source of vitamin C and is the closest thing to a summer day at the beach you’ll ever get in DeKalb.

Jailhouse Rock

Recreate the King of Rock and Roll’s favorite sandwich combination without the carbs. Scoop a dollop PB, without the J, and add slices of bananas, making this a protein and potassium-packed recipe.

Chocolate-covered Strawberries

Life is like a box of chocolates and it doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day to know what treat you’re going to get. Pick the juiciest bunch of strawberries and slice them thinly. Start your day off on a sweet note with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and plain oats on the side.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so with the convenience of these yogurt bowl recipes, there’s no excuse for skipping. I recommend preparing these bowls the night before so you can catch a few extra zzz’s.
