1. Yogurt Bowl, But Make It Cute

What you need:

  • Greek yogurt

  • A handful of oats or granola

  • Any fruit you have (banana, apple, berries, frozen fruit)

  • Optional: honey, peanut butter, cinnamon

How I make it:

Add yogurt to a bowl, sprinkle oats/granola, slice some fruit on top, and drizzle honey or peanut butter. If I’m feeling extra - and I usually do-, I add cinnamon.

Why I love it:
It feels like a little café bowl, but it’s literally stuff from the fridge.

2. “Lazy Girl” Toast 3 Ways

What you need:

  • Bread (whatever you have: toast, sourdough, bagel)

  • A spread: butter, cream cheese, hummus, avocado, peanut butter…

  • Toppings: tomato, cucumber, sliced banana, seeds, etc.

Ideas:

  • Savory: toast + cream cheese + tomato + salt & pepper

  • Mediterranean vibe: toast + hummus + cucumber + olive oil + paprika

  • Sweet: toast + peanut butter + banana + a little cinnamon

Toasts are perfect when you want variety but don’t want to cook. I often make two, one sweet and one savory.

3. “Snack Plate” for When You Can’t Decide

What you need (pick a few):

  • Cheese cubes/slices

  • A few pieces of salami/ham/tofu

  • Crackers or bread

  • Nuts

  • Fruit (grapes, apple slices, berries)

  • A piece of chocolate (yes, it counts)

Put everything on a small plate or board. It’s basically a mini charcuterie board, but with whatever you find. Perfect for watching something or working at your laptop.

My attempt for a very quick and healthy snack plate

Bagel with avocado, tomatoes, and pepper is my weakness - and one with jam because I love sweets

Yogurt bowl? Yes, please!
