Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl – Gut-Friendly & Antioxidant-Rich
This breakfast is straight from mornings in Greece 🇬🇷. Simple, delicious, and packed with nutrients that support gut health, protein intake, and antioxidants.
Nutritionist Rosa Keller’s healthy Greek yogurt breakfast with seasonal fruit and honey
In Greece, breakfast was always yogurt, fruit, and honey — nothing fancy, but it hit all the right notes. I’ve kept that habit going here in California, with an emphasis on high-quality, local ingredients.
I chose Nancy’s Yogurt for creaminess and probiotics, the freshest berries I could find for antioxidants and fiber, and local honey from Shasta for a touch of natural sweetness.
