Let me introduce you to the ultimate breakfast bowl that’s as nourishing as it is stunning. This spirulina yogurt bowl is packed with fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and a hint of honey to sweeten your morning. The best part? You can prep most of the ingredients ahead of time, so your bowl is ready to go even on busy days. Let’s dive in! 🌞
If you don’t want to make the granola yourself, that’s okay! You can always use store-bought. I personally really like Purely Elizabeth’s granola. It’s about as healthy as store-bought granola gets (little to no added sugar). You can get it at Costco or BJ’s, if you like to buy your groceries from wholesalers (it saves a lot of money!

Create a Soul-Nourishing Morning Ritual You’ll Love
Pair your nourishing breakfast with some movement and joy, and you’re going to have a great day, every day (or at least… most days!).
Okay, let’s go:
Ingredients
For the Homemade Granola:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans work great!)
- ¼ cup seeds (chia, flax, or sunflower seeds)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
For the Bowl:
- 1 cup yogurt (Greek, plant-based, or regular)
- ½ tsp spirulina powder (for that dreamy green hue and a nutrient boost!)
- ½ banana, sliced 🍌
- 2-3 strawberries, sliced 🍓
- A handful of blueberries 🫐
- A few green grapes, halved 🍇
- Drizzle of honey 🍯 (optional but highly recommended)
How to Make the Bowl
Step 1: Prep the Yogurt Base
In a bowl, mix your yogurt with spirulina powder until it’s smooth and beautifully green. Spirulina has a mild taste, so don’t worry—it blends perfectly with the creamy yogurt.
Step 2: Add the Fruit
Wash, slice, and prep your fruit in advance so it’s ready to grab and go! Arrange the banana slices, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes over the yogurt in sections for that picture-perfect look.
💡 Pro Tip: Pre-wash your berries and store them in an airtight container in the fridge to save time during the week.
Step 3: Sprinkle on the Granola
Top your bowl with a generous handful of granola. Homemade is best, but store-bought works too if you’re short on time. (We’ve got you covered with a recipe below!)
Step 4: Drizzle the Honey
Finish your bowl with a light drizzle of honey for a natural sweet touch. Not into honey? Maple syrup or agave are great alternatives.
How to Make Homemade Granola
This granola recipe is super easy and customizable. You’ll never want the store-bought stuff again!
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Add honey (or maple syrup) and melted coconut oil. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
3️⃣ Spread it out: Evenly spread the mixture on the baking sheet.
4️⃣ Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
5️⃣ Cool and store: Let the granola cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It’ll stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
Tips to Make This Bowl a Daily Ritual
- Batch Prep Your Granola: Make a big batch of granola on Sunday so you have it ready for the week.
- Pre-Cut Fruits: Slice your fruits the night before and store them in separate containers.
- Mix Up Your Fruits: Swap the berries and grapes for mangoes, kiwis, or peaches depending on what’s in season.
- Experiment with Yogurt Bases: Try coconut yogurt for a tropical twist or plain Greek yogurt if you prefer extra protein.
