Maple Coconut Yogurt with Fresh Berries | Kevin Wagonfoot
Listen, some mornings I wake up and the last thing I want to do is stand over a stove. That’s when this maple coconut yogurt saves me—it takes about as long as pouring a bowl of cereal, except it actually keeps me satisfied until lunch. I’ve made this about a hundred times now, and I still feel a little smug eating something this simple.
The beauty here is that you’re not pretending yogurt is something fancy. You’re just taking a few good ingredients, throwing them together, and letting them do their thing. No complicated technique, no weird substitutions I had to learn from YouTube videos.
Why This Works for Paleo
For the Paleo approach, this hits all the right notes. You’ve got the probiotics from coconut yogurt, which keeps things aligned with what Paleo is about—real food that actually digests well. The maple adds natural sweetness without any processed stuff, and the berries bring fiber and antioxidants. It’s one of those breakfasts that feels indulgent but is really just you eating whole foods the way they’re meant to be eaten.

Tips & Variations
- Don't overthink the yogurt brand. Any coconut-based yogurt will work, but check that it doesn't have a mile-long ingredient list.
- If your maple syrup is the thick kind that doesn't want to drizzle, give it a gentle warm-up in a small bowl for 30 seconds.
- Fresh berries are ideal, but frozen ones thaw out in the yogurt and work just fine if that's what you've got on hand.
