This vegan Hibiscus Coconut Yogurt Bowl is the perfect quick morning meal! This gluten-free and refined sugar-free breakfast bowl takes just a few minutes to prepare, but it's also healthy and delicious.

I wanted to try something different from my usual overnight oats for breakfast, which I had enjoyed for quite some time. However, I still wanted something quick and easy to prepare with minimal prep yet was nutritious, satisfying and filling.

The berries we have been getting all winter have been delicious, plump, and full of flavor. We've been getting great organic blueberries, raspberries, and pomegranates, so I put together this hibiscus coconut yogurt bowl for a healthy and quick plant-based breakfast.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need to make this coconut yogurt bowl:

Coconut milk yogurt alternative or a coconut yogurt probiotic such as Cocoyo - plain or flavored
Chia seeds - light or dark
Pure hibiscus flower powder
Cocoa crunch superfood cereal
Fresh raspberries
Fresh blueberries
Pomegranate arils
Large coconut flakes - for texture and flavor
Dried mulberries - for additional texture and flavor, I added organic sun-dried white mulberries. Mulberries are a naturally sweet and nutrient-dense alternative to raisins. They can be added to cereals, granola, salads, or yogurts.

How to make a Hibiscus Coconut Yogurt Bowl

This bowl is easy to put together, even if it is your first time! To make this beautiful breakfast bowl, you will mix a small package of coconut yogurt alternative, chia seeds, and pure hibiscus flower powder in a bowl.

Let this mixture rest for 20 minutes so the chia seeds can hydrate.

Rinse the berries in the meantime.

After 20 minutes, top the yogurt mixture with the granola or cereal of your choice, and fresh raspberries, blueberries, pomegranate arils, coconut flakes, and dried mulberries.

Substitutions

Berries: Citrus is an excellent alternative to berries over the winter. Blood oranges, oranges, mandarins, and pink grapefruit would be lovely.

Chia seeds: try flaxseed meal instead.

Coconut milk yogurt alternative or a coconut yogurt probiotic such as Cocoyo - plain or flavored, or vegan Greek-style yogurt

Mulberries: you can use raisins instead.

Variations

Additions: try adding cacao nibs, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, almond butter or peanut butter

Cereal: you can also use muesli or homemade granola.

Coconut flakes: try shredded coconut instead.

Sweetener: add maple syrup if you like your coconut yogurt bowl a bit on the sweet side! Add more fruit such as fresh cherries. Or change up the fruit profile by adding chopped pineapple, papaya, and mango and make a tropical yogurt bowl!

Expert tip

As I mentioned above, let this mixture rest for 20 minutes so the chia seeds can hydrate.
