Lunchtime Dairy-free Yogurt Bowl

I have always loved yogurt. When I was a kid I could eat container after container of strawberry and banana yogurt. Then I realized my lactose intolerance and gave up yogurt all together. It hadn’t occurred to me that vegan options must exist. When I realized they did I was overjoyed! My personal favorite dairy-free yogurt is oat based, but there’s also almond and coconut to choose from. What’s more difficult to find are dairy-free yogurts that have flavor (like vanilla) or fruit mixed in. That could also vary depending on where you live and what’s in demand. I typically end up adding some vanilla extract to cut the bitterness. No matter whether or not I find yogurt with fruit, when I’m having yogurt as a meal and not just a snack I love slicing a whole banana, adding granola (whatever I have on hand) and topping with almonds (even if the granola already contains nuts. It’s a filling lunch adding protein and carbs to my body in the middle of the day when when I feel like it’s time for a nap but I’m still at work! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Happy eating!

Great
