Nessy's Note
If you asked my partner, coworkers or anyone else who regularly eats with me to guess my favorite fruit, kiwi would be a solid answer because I eat one pretty much every single day.
So naturally I started adding it to my morning yogurt bowl from time to time, when I needed a switch up from apple yogurt bowls, and found it is absolutely delicious.
And when I started pairing it with a vanilla yogurt base like in this recipe it became too good to not share!
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Greek Yogurt- As I do in my banana yogurt bowls, I like using whole milk or 2% for the best flavor and creaminess but non-fat will work if that's what you prefer.
- Substitution: Any unsweetened yogurt (balkan, skyr, etc.) works but the protein content and thickness will vary.
- Honey- If you find Greek yogurt too tangy, honey helps to balance it.
- Substitutions: Maple syrup or your sweetener of choice can be used instead or it can be left out.
- Vanilla Extract- I love the flavor of the vanilla base to complement the kiwi. However, I do find that this bowl is incredibly delicious with just plain yogurt topped with kiwi and the other toppings if you want to skip it.
- Fine Sea Salt (optional)- I find that just a pinch balances the flavor.
- Kiwi- I used half of a golden and half of a green kiwi (because it was pretty for the pictures...) but any type of kiwi works. Peeling is optional.
- Additional Toppings- And now the fun part! I love pairing the kiwi with coconut, almond and pepitas. I have dozens more topping ideas in my complete guide to Greek yogurt breakfast bowls.
My Tips for the Best Kiwi Yogurt Bowl
- Don't be afraid to experiment with toppings. Try different combos until you find your favorite. My favorite is the combo included in the recipe card!
- Simplify the base. If you prefer, you can omit the vanilla, sweetener and salt and just have the kiwi and other toppings on the base of plain yogurt (I often have it this way too!).
