Yogurt is a delicious food that’s good to eat at any time of the day. Not only this, but yogurt is chock full of protein and other vitamins your body needs to stay healthy!

A serving of yogurt will usually provide your body with about five grams of protein, while a serving of greek yogurt will provide about ten grams of protein.
Yogurt also has calcium, potassium, and vitamin D and is a great probiotic that provides your body with the healthy bacteria it needs to function properly.
While yogurt is tasty on its own, toppings are a great way to add more flavor and bulk up your serving. They also add some more texture elements to your yogurt, making it more pleasing to eat.
Topping options are endless, making it difficult to choose what you want. So, let’s look at some of the best yogurt toppings most people enjoy.
Dates
Dates are fruits that come from the date palm tree, and you’ll typically find them dried at your local grocery store.
They look like very large raisins but have a chewy consistency and taste sweet. Dates are also full of fiber.
So, when you combine them with protein-rich yogurt, your yogurt bowl will be very filling and have a slight sweetness to it.
Pineapple
Beautiful, yellow pineapple is perfect for your yogurt. I find it adds a tangy, yet sweet flavor to your yogurt.
The firm texture of the pineapple is also a nice addition to the soft, creaminess of the yogurt.
Pineapple is healthy too, with its high vitamin C content and a long list of other vitamins and minerals.
Pineapple is also one of my favorite fruits for smoothies!
Chia Seeds
Raw chia seeds can add a nice crunch and a very mild nutty flavor to your yogurt.
Their flavor tends to blend in with whatever food you’re using as a base, making them sometimes tasteless.
Use them in yogurt for their texture element and antioxidant properties.
Nuts
Any kind of nut is the perfect crunchy topping for your yogurt!
Nuts are my favorite protein that helps to bulk up yogurt and make my stomach full.
If you’re looking for a sweet flavor, then you should add nuts such as almonds or pecans.
And if sweetness isn’t your thing, walnuts are a great choice as they are quite mild. I love almonds in my yogurt.
Bananas
Bananas are rich with potassium, with about 450 mg per banana, and will give your yogurt a very distinctive flavor.
Bananas also have some fiber and other healthy antioxidants. So, this tasty combination is also great at keeping your body happy and full due to the high nutrient content.
Strawberries
If you want to make your yogurt a little sweeter without the use of processed sugar, then ripe strawberries are one of the best toppings.
These juicy, red berries have the perfect level of sweetness, and they are full of healthy vitamins and antioxidants, such as:
- Vitamin C
- Folate
- Manganese
- Potassium
- Heart-healthy antioxidants like pelargonidin and procyanidins
I love adding strawberries to my yogurt for the rich flavor.
Blueberries
Blueberries are antioxidant-rich berries that go well with yogurt.
You can find 9,019 antioxidants in a cup of cultivated blueberries and 13,427 antioxidants in a cup of wild blueberries.
Ripe blueberries are a nice little pop of flavor in your mouth and can provide your body with disease-fighting benefits.
Raspberries
Raspberries will provide your yogurt with a sweet berry taste and a little crunch from their seeds.
They’ll also provide your body with essential nutrients such as fiber and vitamin C.
And if sugar is concerning to you, you’ll be happy to know that raspberries have low sugar content, yet they still provide the sweetness you’re looking for!
Mangoes
Mangoes are tropical fruits that taste amazing with yogurt!
They add the perfect amount of sweetness, as long as the mango you choose is ripe.
I love the tropical taste they add to my yogurt. Mangoes are also high in heart-healthy potassium and magnesium, aiding in keeping your heart working properly and lowering blood pressure.
Coconut Flakes
Coconut flakes are a great way to add texture and sweetness to your yogurt bowl.
You can purchase unsweetened or sweetened coconut flakes, but if you want only natural sugar, you should get the unsweetened ones.
Coconut has healthy fat and fiber, feeding your body energy and keeping your digestive system healthy.
Cherries
Cherries are tasty low-calorie fruits that are perfect for topping your yogurt!
Just remember to take the pits out! You have the choice between sweet or tart cherries, depending on what your taste buds are looking for.
Cherries are high in vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and antioxidants which are all beneficial things for your body.
Granola
If you want more crunch, other than some berries and fruits, granola is another yogurt topping option.
Usually, granola contains oats, nuts, honey, and sometimes other sweeteners or ingredients.
Oats are very heart-healthy and aid in reducing heart disease by reducing cholesterol. Their nutrients also have:
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Anti-allergic properties
- Anti-microbial properties
Granola is my favorite yogurt topping and I highly recommend it! Learn about different types of grains to add to your yogurt bowl.
Kiwi
Eating kiwi is one of the best ways to get vitamin C, falling closely behind fruits such as oranges and clementines.
Vitamin C is vital for immune system health. Cut kiwis up into little chunks or slice them to top your yogurt.
Kiwi pieces will add sweet and tart tastes to your yogurt. I love that it gives it an acidic kick!
Peaches
Peaches are a sweet way to dress up your yogurt, and you can find them at your local grocery store either canned or fresh.
They’re full of multiple vitamins, including vitamin A and vitamin C.
I adore peaches in yogurt – I think it’s one of the best ways to brighten up a yogurt bowl.
Honey
Honey is a great way to add thickness and sweetness to your yogurt naturally.
Honey contains antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making it a much healthier alternative to white sugar.
Although this sugar is naturally occurring, people with glucose issues should be wary because honey can still raise blood sugar levels.
Blackberries
Blackberries are soft berries that bring a combination of sour and sweet flavors to your yogurt.
They contain plenty of vitamins and minerals similar to other berries, but vitamin C and fiber tend to have higher percentages.
It’s best to top your yogurt with whole blackberries, as they can get messy if you try cutting them.
Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
Peanut and almond butters are protein and fiber-rich, making their combination with yogurt a stomach-filling meal or snack.
They’re also high in good fat, which is good for keeping your cholesterol low and reducing your risk for heart disease and strokes.
Just don’t go overboard with nut butter, as excessive amounts can have negative effects.
Apples
The satisfying crunch of apples pairs perfectly with the softness of yogurt.
Not only this, but apples are a great source of vitamin C, fiber, and phytochemicals, which provide antioxidant purposes to help protect cells.
To get the full benefits of apples when topping your yogurt, you should keep the skin on as this is where most of the phytochemicals and fiber are.
Cacao Nibs or Chocolate Chips
If you’re a chocolate lover like me, then adding cacao nibs or chocolate chips to your yogurt makes one of the best combinations.
Cacao nibs are bitter, while chocolate is sweet, due to the addition of sugar. Cacao nibs are only crushed cocoa beans, with no additives.
So, they have more health benefits than chocolate and offer tons of antioxidants to your body.
Pomegranate
Adding pomegranate seeds to your yogurt will provide you with a little crunch and tartness.
Their taste is very similar to cranberries. And like cranberries, pomegranate seeds are chock full of antioxidants.
With high amounts of fiber and other vitamins and minerals, these morsels of flavor are an excellent choice for your yogurt bowl.
Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds might be a little harder to find when compared to fruits and nuts, but they are becoming more widely available.
These crunchy, nutty-tasting seeds are good sources of:
- Protein
- Vitamin E and B vitamins
- Magnesium and manganese
- Iron and zinc
- Omegas
All these vitamins and minerals work to keep your heart and brain healthy and provide anti-inflammatory properties.
