Ingredients
Scale
Bagels
- 4 whole grain bagels, halved
Yogurt Spread
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or cream cheese for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Fruit Toppings
- ½ cup strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ banana, sliced
- 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
- ¼ cup orange segments or mandarin oranges (fresh or canned in juice)
Optional Toppings
- Chia seeds, granola, or coconut flakes for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Bagels: Toast the whole grain bagel halves lightly, if desired, to add a bit of crunch and enhance flavor.
- Make the Yogurt Spread: In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing well to create a creamy and slightly sweet base.
- Assemble the Fruit Pizzas: Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over each toasted bagel half to form a smooth layer.
- Top with Fruit: Arrange a colorful variety of fresh fruit slices such as strawberries, blueberries, bananas, kiwi, and orange segments on top of the yogurt spread.
- Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle optional chia seeds, granola, or coconut flakes to add texture and extra nutrition.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy a fresh, delicious, and healthy breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Use plain Greek yogurt for a higher protein option; cream cheese can be used for extra creaminess but adds more fat.
- To keep bagels crispy, toast just before assembling and serving.
- Fresh seasonal fruit can be used as alternatives based on availability and preference.
- Honey and vanilla extract are optional and can be omitted for a less sweet and simpler flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Store any leftovers separately to maintain texture; toasted bagels and cut fruit are best enjoyed fresh.
