Ingredients for Fig Greek Yogurt Bowl- 4 fresh figs
- 3 servings of thick Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- A sprinkle of sliced almonds
- A few leaves of baby arugula
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by gently washing the 4 fresh figs under cool running water. Pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, ensuring they are easy to handle in the next step.
Step 2
Trim off the stem and blossom ends of each fig. Then, slice each fig into quarters or sixths, creating bite-sized pieces. Aim for consistent sizes for an even presentation and texture.
Step 3
Take your chosen serving dish, such as a glass jar or a pretty bowl, and artfully arrange the sliced figs inside. Filling the base of the container with figs makes for a visually appealing start.
Step 4
Spoon one serving of the thick Greek yogurt generously over the layer of figs. The creamy yogurt will beautifully contrast with the fresh fruit.
Step 5
Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of chia seeds over the Greek yogurt. Chia seeds add a lovely texture and boost the nutritional value of your breakfast.
Step 6
Add another serving of Greek yogurt on top of the chia seeds. Layering the ingredients creates a more substantial and satisfying bowl.
Step 7
Now, prepare the final topping. Finely chop some of the remaining figs. You can chop them into smaller pieces or leave them slightly chunkier for texture variation.
Step 8
Generously pile the chopped figs on top of the second layer of yogurt. The vibrant color of the figs will add a beautiful finish to your creation.
Step 9
Scatter a desired amount of sliced almonds over the figs. These add a wonderful crunch and nutty flavor. Feel free to substitute with other nuts or granola if you prefer.
Step 10
For a final touch of freshness and visual appeal, garnish with a few leaves of baby arugula. The slightly peppery notes of arugula complement the sweetness of the figs and yogurt perfectly.
Step 11
And there you have it! A super simple yet incredibly delicious and healthy Fig Greek Yogurt bowl. Perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a light, refreshing snack!
