Cranberry Coconut Granola Yogurt Bowls
Lusciously creamy FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt is the star of FIVE yogurt breakfast bowls that are sure to help you stick to your New Year’s health goals!
I usually kick off a New Year with a new way to enjoy black eyed peas and greens, a new planner and a new breakfast treat. As much as I love a new breakfast treat, FAGE is still my go-to breakfast.
If you are a FAGE fan, then I bet you understand why it’s so hard to walk away from a super quick and easy, tried and re-tested, nutritious, breakfast of creamy, luscious, FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt, crunchy granola and honey – right?
If you’ve been piddling around my blog in the past, then you know FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt is a favorite with my daughter and I. Most times, I enjoy FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt with Apple Walnut Granola or this Cranberry Coconut Granola. I also use it in baked treats and late night quick eats like these Pumpkin Greek Yogurt Pancakes.
My daughter, on the other hand, likes to add a dollop of FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt to her breakfast burritos or enjoy a savory yogurt breakfast bowl – quite similar to the raita my mom usually serves to balance off a super spicy meal. Isn’t it wonderful how versatile FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt can be?
All natural, FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt is made with only milk and live active yogurt cultures, is protein-rich, contains no added sugar (contains only naturally occurring milk sugar) and is Non-GMO Project Verified. And, I love it because of its distinctive rich, creamy and delicious taste – but wait, I already said that a few paragraphs ago!
Anyhoot… Getting back to today’s post…
Today, I have five of our favorite, nutritious, breakfast bowls using FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt. I’m hoping these breakfast bowls help keep any New Year’s health goals you might have made, healthier and easier!
There is this mix of crunchy, flavor-packed Cranberry Coconut Granola, lusciously creamy FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt, and honey…
Some Days, I have leftover roasted butternut squash from the previous night. So, I heat it up the next morning, toss the butternut squash with a pinch of two of cinnamon and cardamom, and add it to some FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt, top it with some sunflower seeds and maple syrup.
Then there are times, I whip up some FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt with a bit of maple syrup and cinnamon, add in some unsweetened applesauce and toss in some pecans for an almost-apple-pie like yogurt breakfast bowl like experience!
Staying with the maple-cinnamon spiked FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt, I’ve also added a bunch of fruits like mangoes, kiwi and raspberries, like in this bowl, to enjoy for breakfast…
And then, some other days, I go the savory route (like my daughter enjoys) and whip up a savory yogurt breakfast bowl with lightly salted FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt that is topped with spiced chickpeas, avocados, and cashews.
One can of chickpeas were spiced with 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp chili and a pinch of salt and pepper.
So, please do tell me…
What would be your favorite yogurt breakfast bowl with FAGE Total 5% Greek Yogurt?
The beauty of FAGE Total 5% Greek yogurt Is that it is so versatile and jives just as well with sweet fruits and granola as it does with spiced chickpeas and cucumbers. And, with that said, what would be your favorite yogurt bowl creation?
And, I am looking for inspiration so please do tell me something new you embarked on this January?
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 egg white whisked well
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Place coconut oil and maple syrup in a microwave safe dish and microwave on 10-15 seconds intervals until coconut oil is melted (took me 2 x 15 seconds)
- Then add in vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, cinnamon and mix well.
- Then add in the rolled oats, cranberries and coconut and mix to coat dry ingredients with wet ingredients.
- Finally fold in the well whisked egg and mix until it is incorporated.
- Line a baking tray with parchment or silpat and spread out cranberry coconut oat mix onto baking tray.
- Bake for 32-37 minutes at 325 degrees.
- Remove from oven and set aside until it is completely cool. When it is completely cool, you will have the clumpiest granola. So clumpy that you might have to break the large pieces apart!
- Enjoy granola with FAGE Total 5% Greek Yogurt and honey or maple syrup!

This cranberry coconut granola yogurt bowls are the perfect way to start off the New Year and any morning.
The granola clusters look so delicious! Great as an afternoon snack too 🙂
FAGE yogurt is my absolute favourite but I’ll admit I normally just chuck some fruit on top. This looks so much more delicious.
Wow all those Fage bowls look superlicious. Love the idea with butternut squash. And your homemade cranberry and coconut granola is just what I want to make for breakfast this week!
This is such a lovely and healthy and tasty recipe. Love the combination of all the lovely flavors. Would be perfect as my Snack Box.
Fage yogurt is a favorite at our house too! My only decision now is trying to decide which breakfast bowl to try first!
Mmm, cranberry coconut granola yogurt bowls sound delicious Shashi. Though we won’t get Fage Greek yogurt here in India, so I will try with some other yogurt. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
These clusters sound delicious, Shashi! I see you went with the egg white trick. 🙂 Robbie eats a granola bar every morning before preschool, and I eat granola over yogurt a couple mornings a week myself. I love it! This cranberry-coconut version sounds similar to our go-to version. The dried cranberries add such a fun twist of flavor. And FAGE is certainly a delicious base…we use FAGE a lot for savory marinades as well as breakfasts. Yum!
I’m a huge FAGE fan! Their plain yogurt with a handful of fruit is my go-to most mornings but I think I’ll have to try it with your granola because I LOVE granola–and I love anything with cranberries :). Happy New Year, Shashi!
Gosh Shashi, I haven’t made granola in ages! And with a good dollop of this healthy yogurt I’m right there with ya! Looks delicious! 😀
SHASHI!!! Happy New Year! These yogurt bowls are so gorgeous. I love the cranberry coconut granola, I’d def. go that route. The FAGE yogurt is a great foundation for sweet and savory. Things are so cold here my friend. You wouldn’t do well here right now. It’s so frigid and it’s 24 degrees right now and will be in the single digits tomorrow. Eek. what am I embarking on new this year???Hmmm…maybe taking a little time for ME? I’ve been working about twenty hours part time/volunteering at our church w/the women’s ministry. I’m cutting that down to about three in the New Year and hoping to invest more time in the blog and other endeavors. Wishing you and your daughter all the best in the New Year and I still haven’t heard if you decided to move. So would love an update. XOXO
I don’t know if we get that yogurt around here, but it sounds delicious!! And those chunky granola clusters? Swoon! I would get up early just to have this for breakfast. Bet it would make for a lovely afternoon snack too 🙂 Have a wonderful week ahead, my friend 🙂 XOXO
I have a big container of Fage in my refrigerator, so clearly these yogurt bowls are begging to be in my future! Seriously, this is such a delicious way to start the day, or perfect for an afternoon fuel up! Loving the cranberry and coconut granola!!! This is definitely a bowl full of YUM! Cheers!
