Including whole milk dairy products as part of a fertility-promoting eating pattern can help support regular ovulation and provide a good source of calcium, vitamin D, and protein. This recipe helps you build a yogurt breakfast bowl with nourishing whole milk greek yogurt, antioxidant-rich berries, and a delicious homemade granola. Pepitas add crunch and a source of minerals like zinc, iron, and magnesium.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Yields: 6 cups of granola
Ingredients:
For the granola:
- 1⁄2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup large coconut flakes
- 1⁄4 cup pepitas
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
For the yogurt bowls:
- Whole milk greek yogurt of choice
- Berries of choice
- Prepared granola
- Optional drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup
Directions:
- Start by preparing the granola. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and stir to mix. Add the oats, coconut, nuts/seeds and stir everything to coat. Spread it evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring a few times throughout that time, until the coconut flakes are golden. Remove to cool completely.
- Assemble a yogurt bowl by portioning out a scoop of yogurt in a bowl. Option to add a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup to sweeten. Top with berries and granola and enjoy!
Notes:
For a dairy-free yogurt bowl, try an unsweetened cashew or coconut yogurt with a bit of honey and mix in a scoop of collagen to provide a source of protein. You can also feel free to mix up the nuts and seeds in the granola recipe. Walnuts are another great fertility supportive nut, providing a good source of omega-3 fats.
