Greek yogurt berry bowl

Name: Greek yogurt berry bowl
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Yield: 1 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt; 1/2 tsp vanilla extract; 5–6 berries strawberries, halved; 1/2 cup blueberries; 3 tbsp granola; 2 tsp chia seeds; 1 1/2 tsp honey

The morning staple of the protein era, done properly: thick whipped yogurt, two kinds of berries, and a deliberately measured crunch layer. The granola is the densest thing in the bowl — so it goes on top where you taste it, not underneath where you don't.

Both directions are legitimate — the score measures fullness per calorie, not virtue. Every version is the same dish, rebalanced.

Ingredients

1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt250 g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)2 g
5–6 berries strawberries, halved80 g
1/2 cup blueberries60 g

Crunch

3 tbsp granola25 g
2 tsp chia seeds8 g

1 1/2 tsp honey (optional)10 g

Every ingredient links to its food page — same data, same score, same formula.

Steps

Whip the yogurt (and vanilla, if using) vigorously with a spoon or whisk for 30 seconds until glossy and mousse-like.
Spoon into a bowl and top with the berries.
Finish with granola, chia seeds, and the honey if you want it sweeter.

Nonfat or whole milk yogurt?

Whole-milk scores slightly lower but many people find it keeps them full longer and skips the urge to snack — both are fine. The nonfat version pushes protein per calorie even higher.

Why this score

moderately filling

No single route carries this one — a moderate amount of protein, volume and fiber.

Three routes to fullness — one is enough

What pulls it down

How scores work

Computed on the finished dish, not an average of the parts: 501 kcal goes into the pot, 435 g of ingredients comes out as ~435 g of food → 115 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water, and energy density is the score's biggest lever — so we show the math. Full formula here.

Percentages are the share of calories from each macronutrient.

Computed from the ingredients' USDA data — nothing typed by hand. Every number is traceable, every score recomputable.
