Make-Your-Own Dairy-Free Yogurt Breakfast Bowls

Breakfast is fun even if you can’t or don’t eat gluten and dairy. One breakfast food my family loves is when I make tasty yogurt breakfast bowls. In this post, I’ll show you how to create your own make-your-own dairy-free yogurt breakfast bowls at home. This post is sponsored by So Delicious®. Please see my disclosures.

Breakfast is an important meal in my house.

I walk my dog for 3-4 miles every day (except when it’s really cold!) and come home famished.

My kids love breakfast too. They’re more likely to skip lunch than miss their breakfast!

One way I spice up breakfast is by serving make-your-own yogurt bowls. It’s a fun way to feed my family well and give them options and control over what they will be eating for breakfast.

In this post, I share a simple dairy-free yogurt breakfast bowl recipe made with dairy-free So Delicious coconutmilk yogurt alternative and a slew of delicious, gluten-free toppings.

Why I Choose Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative

I’m not a vegetarian, but I do feel my diet can, at times, be heavy on animal products. One animal product I’ve been able to almost eliminate from my diet is dairy products.

Instead of using dairy milk and yogurt, I purchase plant-based milk and yogurt alternative products. It is a simple way for us to eat less animal products and still enjoy great tasting food.

So Delicious® makes it easy for us to switch to dairy-free yogurt with its tasty coconutmilk yogurt alternative, which is also certified gluten free by the GFCO, Non-GMO Project Verified, kosher, and certified vegan.

I like to use the vanilla flavored “yogurt” alternative because it has a touch of sweetness to it, albeit, not too sweet.

Making “Yogurt” Bowls

I often put out a spread of sliced and washed fruits, nut butters, granola and other fun bite-sized foods to allow my kids to make their own “yogurt” bowls.

The coconut yogurt alternative serves as a blank canvas for each of them to build upon.

I make sure my yogurt breakfast bowl includes a protein, plenty of fresh ingredients, a lot of crunch, and some good fats and fiber.

For this particular yogurt bowl, I decided simple was better.

On top of the So Delicious coconutmilk yogurt alternative, I layered fresh strawberries and blueberries, gluten-free granola, chia seeds, and a nice dollop of peanut butter. I sometimes warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 15 seconds to soften it before adding it to my yogurt bowl.

You can also add a drizzle of maple syrup if you want to make your bowl a little sweeter, although I find the sweetness from the fruit and granola to be sufficient.

Additional toppings for your “Make-Your-Own Yogurt Bar” and that work well include:

• Any fresh fruit (bananas, kiwis, raspberries, blackberries, pineapple, melon, apple slices, etc.)
• Seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, etc.)
• Nuts (cashews, pecans, walnuts, pistachios, etc.)
• Dried or dehydrated fruits (raisins, dried pineapple, dried apple bits)
• Freeze dried fruits
• Jam or jelly
• Coconut flakes
• Crunchy cereals (make sure they’re GF and DF)
• Hazelnut chocolate spread

Please note that you can purchase large, 24-ounce containers of So Delicious coconutmilk yogurt alternative at most natural food retailers. Each tub contains four servings (6 ounces per “yogurt” bowl).

I love that I can easily stick to my gluten-free and dairy free diet without having to sacrifice taste, variety or fun. So Delicious lives up to its name!
