Current Favorite: Greek Yogurt & Guava Breakfast Bowl

As much as I love to eat, breakfast is kind of a struggle. Most mornings, I’m lucky if I can finish my coffee. But I’m trying to do better and I’ve been thinking of ways to make breakfast a bit more interesting. That’s why I love the idea of Breakfast Bowls. And this Greek Yogurt & Guava Breakfast Bowl has been my current favorite!

I’ve been obsessed with all things guava lately. And guava paste is making my obsession easier. I love making it into a syrup because I can use it in many different ways.

As a kid, I remember my mother buying guava paste. I’d watch her slice it up and eat with cheese and crackers. It never appealed to me as a kid. But these days, I’m all about it. It’s pretty much a staple.

Yum

Greek Yogurt & Guava Breakfast Bowl

Ingredients:

Greek Yogurt – plain
Granola – I used Bear Naked Banana Nut
1/2 Banana – sliced
Guava syrup

What I especially love about guava syrup is that it can be used for baking (see below) or drizzled over ice cream and French Toast or Pancakes.

Sometimes I get these ideas in my head and I’m so exited to try them. I made guava and cheese heart shaped pies sprinkled with powdered sugar and drizzled in guava paste (that I also made). But then they don’t look like I planned. Oh well…they taste good. I’ll work on presentation another day.
