I first saw this recipe on Instagram by Pinch of Yum and was instantly intrigued.

While I don’t typically love yogurt, the way it was presented was immediately appetizing! I wanted to see if it really tasted like a cookie.

So I did some taste testing 😀.

And while I can’t claim it tastes exactly like a chocolate chip cookie, I can promise you it’s delicious! I love it so much that it’s become a regular snack around here.

With over 20 grams of protein, I’m more than happy to eat the entire serving!

I’ve made a few tweaks to the original recipe and the flavors and layers just go together oh so perfectly. I have eaten it as a lunch alternative, an afternoon snack and even a post-dinner “I’m still hungry and want something sweet” option.

Here are a few tips for your own Yogurt Cookie Bowl:

• I use 2% greek yogurt as the base for this bowl. I highly recommend you avoid non fat yogurt as it’s full of additives and added sugar and takes away the purity of the yogurt itself. I then add my favorite coconut yogurt as the additional yogurt add in, but you can always just use more plain greek yogurt or a flavor of your choice!
• While I use almond butter, you can use any nut butter you prefer.
• I use a paleo style granola as it works well for me, but you can use any granola you like.
• I personally like to keep all the ingredients separate in the bowl so I can swipe my spoon through each layer and savor them. My daughter, on the other hand, mixed everything together in one bowl before eating it. You do you 😀.

Promise me you’ll make this soon! It’s a delicious and delightful way to make yogurt into more than just yogurt.
