Tired of the same-old breakfast? Try yogurt and fruit oatmeal! This simple, customizable recipe packs a nutritious punch.
It combines creamy yogurt, hearty oats, and a hint of natural sweetness from fruits - perfect for those who want a filling, tasty breakfast without the fuss.
Oatmeal and yogurt are a power couple! Oats provide fiber and energy, while yogurt gives you protein and a smooth texture. It’s the ultimate breakfast boost.
Choose rolled oats, which cook quickly and have a delightful chewiness. For yogurt, go Greek if you like it thick or stick with regular for a lighter feel. Fresh or dried fruits add that touch of natural sweetness and texture.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (your choice)
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh or dried fruit
- Optional: honey, nuts, seeds

5. Add toppings like honey or nuts as desired.
6. Enjoy a wholesome, energizing breakfast.
Make it the night before if mornings are busy. Just combine oats, yogurt, and your chosen milk in a jar, and let it chill overnight. By morning, you’ll have a ready-to-eat breakfast!

Prefer it warm? Simply heat your oats in milk on the stove, then add yogurt and fruit after cooking. The yogurt cools the oats just enough while adding creaminess.
Berries, bananas, apples - whatever’s in season! Fresh fruit is great, but frozen works too, especially if you let it thaw in your oats overnight.
Want a bit of crunch? Try nuts or seeds. Drizzle some honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. The possibilities are endless!
Serve in a bowl with extra fruit and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This dish can easily be adjusted for sweetness or crunch, making it your own perfect morning meal.
