Messy My Bowl

by jenna on February 22, 2009

Good morning!

I needed a break from oats this morning! I love’ em, don’t get me wrong, but weekends are my time to have a little fun with my breakfast so I decided to branch out this morning!

What you have here is a delicious yogurt bowl filled to the brim with deliciousness. I used 1 chobani (mental note to buy more yogurt today!), about 1/2-ish cup of my new favorite granola–Zoe’s Honey Almond, blueberries & blackberries (!!), a drizzle of almond butter, a sprinkle of muesli and a spoonful of raspberry preserves.

It was amazing. Definitely started my Sunday off right!

What is YOUR favorite yogurt messy bowl combo?

I finally updated my food philosophy page after many many moons (it still said I was a culinary student living in Orlando). Check it out!

I love Galaxy granola, grapes, and strawberries in my soy-yogurt. Mmmmm! If I’m feeling decadent I’ll add a squirt of soy-a-too and sprinkles :D

OMG my messy yogurt bowls are ridiculous! I eat them mostly in the summer because they get better the longer they sit, and I’m super busy in the mornings!! They’re usually 0% fage, frozen cherries, fresh peaches, rolled oats, puffed mixed grain cereal, cinnamon, and some sugar for extra sweetness. YUM!

Hey Jenna! I’ve been following your blog for a long time, but when you asked this question, I knew I had to chime in (I’m eating a yogurt “mess” right now!). ;) My combos are always bizarre-sounding, but they’re so TASTY! My favorite is Fage Greek yogurt (~1 cup?), canned pumpkin, shredded carrots (yes!), applesauce, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, frozen berries, grapes, PB Puffins, and crushed nuts. Green tea powder is yummy too.

My favorite messy bowl: CC or Greek yogurt with TONS of cinnamon and Kashi Crunch – oh so satisfying!

Have a great Sunday :)

chobani + puffins + blueberries + raisins + honey OR wallaby banana-vanilla + grapenuts + banana slices + maple (the possibilities are endless…). i also like bob’s red mill muesli– or any good muesli–soaked in any kind of yogurt (30 min or even overnight).

Hi Jenna, My favorite messy bowl is plain fage 2% mixed with pumpkin , banana slices, and a few golden raisins topped with 1/2 cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch and drizzled with crunchy almond butter and TJ’s pumpkin butter- so yum! Or I mix it up with plain greek, mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries), Go Lean Crunch, topped with almond slices and dried cranberries. Have an awesome Sunday!

Zoe’s is the BEST granola. Into my yogurt mess, I love a warm Vitabrownie and almond butter…maybe a banana if I’m feeling sassy. :)

mmm that looks good! I would say my fave is probably greek yogurt, sliced banana, blackberries, quaker squares and a little granola…mmm I wish I hadn’t already had breakfast!

I used to eat a “mess” like 2 maybe 3 times a day – as I am sure you know. I loved to mix Kashi Go Lean with greek yogurt and fruit but then I realized that Go Lean cereal was the culprit to some yucky tummy aches – I have to eat soy in small amounts. Starting my day with cold cereal is not the best choice for me – it is like eating air to my body (unless I eat more than a single serving). Now that I have been eating oats and oat bran, I feel satisfied and quite enjoy the simplisity of my bowls these days. I still mix yogurt with a little cereal as a snack but nothing like I used to compile into one bowl.

My favorite yogurt combo is Plain Chobani, warm strawberry jam/preserves drizzled on top, and Kashi Go lean cereal mixed in. So good!

I love plain Chobani, with strawberries. a touch of honey and graham crackers. It’s like a strawberry shortcake.

I’m a big fan of a mix of yogurt, raisins, coconut granola, and a banana. So delish!

I love PB in my messy bowls. And tons of fruit and some wheat germ, too!

I love my yogurt for dessert with granola and almond butter as necessities…any fruit or preserve will do!

This is a beautiful bowl! I want to reach out through the screen, grab it, and shove it down my throat–I mean, er, savor it in a ladylike fashion…

I like making overnight oats with nonfat plain yogurt, blueberries or strawberries or banana, a squirt of locally harvested honey, loads of cinnamon, and all natural PB! Sometimes I mix jam in if I use a banana, and other times I have tried adding a few spoonfuls of blueberry kefir to the mix, which is delish. I’m not sure that qualifies as a “mess” but it looks like one!

You did a great job on updating your food philosophy page.

As for my fav messy bowl, I don’t have one. I’m so picky with yogurt and the only brand I can eat straight is Chobani but it’s hard to get around here. I do kind of like the Trader Joe’s Greek Non Fat Plain on my waffles so maybe I can try mixing stuff with that. Anyway, all I have mixed with the Chobani is granola and fruit but I like it on it’s own. Looking forward to reading what everyone else puts in their messy bowls, haven’t got a chance to read it yet.
