Calling all chocolate lovers (hi, it’s me!). You’re going to absolutely love this Chocolate Almond Butter Vegan Yogurt Bowl! 

I’ve been on a huge yogurt kick lately, but last week I wanted to switch my yogurt bowl up from my usual favorite comb (check out my Loaded Vegan Yogurt Bowl). Factor in my sweet tooth and I give you the Chocolate Almond Butter Vegan Yogurt Bowl! 

This recipe can be put together in just a few minutes for a decadent-feeling breakfast or as a healthy dessert option! The yogurt packs probiotics for a healthy gut and protein to keep you full. Cacao is full of amazing benefits, such as the ability to reduce inflammation, increase cognitive function, stabilize blood sugar, and more! The almond butter and coconut flakes are healthy fats to keep you satiated and your cells happy. Blueberries bring a natural sweetness and are a good source of fiber and antioxidants. The blender bomb is full of nuts and seeds and brings delish flavor. This recipe is full of powerhouse ingredients! 

Ingredients

For the yogurt bowl

  • ½ c plain, unsweetened vegan yogurt (I love Forager Project and Kite Hill)
  • 1 tbs cacao powder
  • 1 heaping tbs natural almond butter

Yogurt bowl toppings

Directions

  1. Add cacao powder to a bowl of vegan yogurt and mix until well incorporated.
  2. Next, add the almond butter to the yogurt and again, mix until well incorporated. 
  3. Top with any and all of the toppings listed above. Bonus points if you style the toppings! Pretty food is extra tasty.
  4. Enjoy!

Loaded Vegan Yogurt Bowl

You know those people who like a little coffee with their cream? Well I like a little yogurt with my toppings. Seriously – I joke with Billy all the time that I just eat yogurt as a vessel for the amazing toppings. Yogurt is such a great healthy breakfast option, loaded with probiotics (good for your gut, yay!) and packed with protein (great for satiety). It’s a great option to keep you full until lunch, and it’s so quick to make in a pinch or prep the night before to grab and go. 

There is no right or wrong way to make a yogurt bowl, but below are some ideas of my favorite toppings to spice up your yogurt life. Hope this brings you some new ideas and re-invigorates your love for a delicious, nourishing breakfast!

Ingredients

  • Your favorite vegan yogurt. I love the unsweetened Forager Project yogurt. Kite Hill and So Delicious also make great options. Just be careful of added sugars! It’s very common and TOTALLY unnecessary in yogurt! If plain yogurt is too tangy for you, you can always add a honey drizzle on top for natural sweetness. 
  • Your favorite toppings. Some of mine are: 
    • Granola (try my Homemade Cinnamon Maple Granola!)
    • Blueberries (and/or raspberries, strawberries & blackberries)
    • Almond butter drizzle
    • Unsweetened coconut flakes
    • Cinnamon, cinnamon, and more cinnamon (Y’all already know how much I love the flavor, but it’s also great for fighting inflammation!)
    • Chia seeds if ya need more fiber and omega 3s in your life!
    • Chopped up Blender Bomb

Directions 

  1. Fill your bowl with yogurt.
  2. Top with all your favorite toppings. Bonus points if you have fun arranging the toppings! I like to look at plating food as an art form. Beautiful food tastes even more delicious! 
  3. Enjoy!
