Savory Greek Yogurt Bowl
*this post is NOT sponsored by Chobani
One Spring day when I was still living in Manhattan, I stumbled into the Chobani Cafe. It’s a little shop in SoHo where you can eat their creations made with their signature Greek yogurt products. If you know me, I am much more of a savory person over sweet. I saw that they had a small section on their menu for savory Greek yogurt bowls. I know this sounds odd since most people enjoy their yogurt with fruit, honey and granola toppings…but I wanted to try it! It was a mixture of plain Greek yogurt, avocado, mango, jalapeno, lime juice, extra virgin olive oil and served with blue corn tortilla chips. I enjoyed it so much, that I create different variations of it at home depending on what ingredients I have on hand!
Here’s what I typically add to my Greek yogurt bowl:
one container of plain Greek yogurt (typically low flat, unflavored)
half of a medium avocado, diced
purple onion, minced (I like that this gives it some color)
cucumber, diced
cilantro, hand torn
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
diced mango or peaches, depending on what is in season (more pops of color!)
sea salt and pepper to garnish
I like having this in the morning when I need to front load my fat intake. The approximate macro breakdown for this bowl is:
