Big Beautiful Bowls
I’m sure you all know by now, just how amazing kefir is the extent of my love for kefir. Well, besides drinking kefir straight out of the bottle, adding it to smoothies, and combined with frozen yogurt, I absolutely love eating it with Greek yogurt.
I had this Big Beautiful Bowl post-workout (post-basketball watching) last night and despite being rather hungry, I stopped to snap some photos just for YOU.
Follow along.
1) Get out a BIG bowl and fill it up with Greek yogurt. I used about 3/4 cup of Fage 0%.
2) Pour in an equal amount of kefir. You can certainly add more if you want 
3) Top it w/ cereal, fruit, dried fruit, nuts!
I used:
- Kashi Puffs
- Banana
- Dried Cranberries
- Pomegranate Arils
- Pecans
4) Enjoy!! And wish you had put in twice as much as you did
*Note: The kefir does NOT dilute the Greek yogurt if you don’t stir it up. Instead, you get a spoonful of thick Greek yogurt coated in kefir and toppings.
*Note #2: I’m a lunatic.
I usually add in chia seeds and ground flax after the photo shoot because they cover all the good-looking toppings.
5) Use a spatula to get every last drop…or should I say to get every last drop that your tongue can’t reach

This morning I broke out a scale-tipping apple. 426 grams!! Would this apple be too heavy for The Biggest Loser?!
I normally wouldn’t weigh my fruit but I wanted to show you GIFT #3! This one wasn’t entirely free. It was about 60% off though. I’ve wanted a food scale for years for baking purposes and I finally got one!
I chopped the massive Fuji, mixed in some cinnamon, and microwaved it for 3 min. to kill whatever it is I’m allergic to!! It worked!!
I made an apple wreath in my Big Beautiful Bowl.
See the resemblance?
With a center of 1/3 cup oats + egg substitute in the middle. Topped with dried crans and pecans.
This breakfast made me SO full.
I’m off to Target to find a FOAM ROLLER. My IT band is insanely tight and I think it’s one of the many factors affecting my running. Of the few times I’ve rolled out my IT band, I was in so. much. pain. I even teared up a couple times and tossed out some curse words. Yes, I’m going to go get something to inflict pain on myself.
Does anyone use a foam roller? Have you found it to be helpful for managing your injuries?
Bakery scale…woohoo!!
I used a foam roller when my IT band hurt. It was sooooooooooo painful! Words cannot describe. Oh my goodness. I’m not sure whether it was the foam roller or stretching or rest that ultimately helped me, but you never know!
LOVE your pretty wreath meal! Tasty too, I bet.
Glad you’re enjoying your new food scale:)
Those bowls look so good! Making me hungry (just after my breakfast, ha ha)!
And nice food scale, be sure to only use it for baking and stuff. Life is too short to measure all the food you’re eating:)

I finally found the time to read about kefir and now I’m anxious to try it! I would never think of combining it with yogurt but now I will have to do that too…
I’ve never tried foam rolling before though- I hope it helps you out!
Your eats look so amazing! I can’t believe I’ve never tried kefir before.
I love reading your blog daily. Too cool. Have a nice day, you are so vibrant
You are introducing me to so many new things! Never tried kefir, but that snack looks amazing! I would never think to mix it with yogurt
My tongue could have licked that bowl spatula free
That is beautiful! I must try this!
Ah, I still need to try this kefir stuff! Thanks for the reminder. And I love pairing apples with oatmeal…sometimes I do chopped up apples, oats, and tahini. Yum.
I couldn’t live (or be able to run) without my foam roller. My IT band has never been my friend.
Love the apple wreath!
Omg that kefir/yogurt combo sounds delicious!! I’ve never mixed liquid w/ yogurt before…but apparently I should try this soon, huh??
And those oats!! My name’s written all ova it–baked apples, mmm…my fave!
“microwaved it for 3 min. to kill whatever it is I’m allergic to”
It’s enzymes! I took a nutrition and public health class and the professor talked about this. Apparently a lot of people have your problem with apples. It’s technically not an allergy, because allergies are the immune response to a protein- your body reacts to the enzymes, and the microwaving denatures them. You are self medicating! Nicely diagnosed!
