A creamy, protein-packed yogurt bowl layered with fresh apples, warm cinnamon spice, and crunchy cereal or granola. Perfect for breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a light dessert.

 Description

This bowl combines:

  • Creamy vanilla (or plain) yogurt

  • Fresh diced apples

  • Cinnamon warmth

  • Crunchy cereal or granola topping

It’s naturally sweet, full of texture, and ready in under 5 minutes.

 Ingredients (1 Serving)

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

  • ½ medium apple, diced (Honeycrisp or Fuji work great)

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup cinnamon crunch cereal or granola

  3. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon on top.

  4. Add cereal or granola.

  6. Serve immediately for best crunch.

 Recipe Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for higher protein.

 Tips for Best Results

  • Add granola right before eating.

  • For meal prep: store yogurt + apples separately from crunchy topping.

  • Add a squeeze of lemon to apples to prevent browning.
