Ingredients
Scale
Bagels
- 4 whole grain bagels, halved
Yogurt Spread
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or cream cheese for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Fruit Toppings
- ½ cup strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ banana, sliced
- 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
- ¼ cup orange segments or mandarin oranges (fresh or canned in juice)
Optional Toppings
- chia seeds
- granola

Instructions
- Prepare the Bagels: Toast the whole grain bagel halves lightly, if desired, to add a bit of crunch and enhance the texture, making them a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Make the Yogurt Spread: In a small bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, if using. This combination creates a creamy and sweet base that complements the fresh fruit nicely.
- Assemble the Fruit Pizzas: Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over each bagel half, covering the surface generously to ensure every bite has that creamy flavor.
- Top with Fresh Fruit: Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, kiwi, and orange segments evenly on top of the yogurt layer, creating a colorful and appealing presentation.
- Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle chia seeds, granola, or coconut flakes over the fruit if desired, for added texture, flavor, and nutritional benefits.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and crunchy-soft contrast, making a fun and healthy breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with cream cheese for a richer spread.
- To make it vegan, use a plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Toast bagels lightly to prevent sogginess when spreading the yogurt.
- Customize toppings with your kid’s favorite fruits or nuts.
- Serve immediately to maintain freshness and texture.
