Mediterranean Amaranth Breakfast Bowl with Greek Yogurt & Fresh Apple
Warm, nutty amaranth meets cool, creamy Greek yogurt in a bowl that feels as nourishing as it is beautiful. Tart Granny Smith apple, sun-kissed dried apricots, and a whisper of delicate alfalfa sprouts bring colour, crunch, and a gentle peppery lift to every spoonful. This is the kind of unhurried morning meal that suits a slow weekend sunrise or a mindful weekday reset equally well. #mediterranean #breakfast #wholegrain #yogurtbowl #healthyeating #weightconscious

Bring 1 part amaranth and 2.5 parts water to a boil in a small saucepan, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender with a light, nutty fragrance rising from the pot. If using pre-cooked amaranth, warm it gently over low heat with a splash of unsweetened almond milk for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
1
While the amaranth cooks, dice the Granny Smith apple into small, even cubes, leaving the skin on for a pop of colour and added fibre. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside — the apple's natural acidity will keep the pieces bright and fresh.
2
Roughly chop the dried apricots into rustic, bite-sized pieces. For a more luscious texture, soak them in 3–4 tablespoons of warm unsweetened almond milk for 2–3 minutes until they plump and soften, drinking in the liquid like little jewels.
3
Once the amaranth is cooked, stir in approximately 60 ml of unsweetened almond milk per serving and cook for a further 1–2 minutes over low heat until the mixture is creamy and porridge-like — it should fall slowly from the spoon rather than pour freely.
4
Divide the warm amaranth evenly between two serving bowls, smoothing the surface gently with the back of a spoon to create an inviting base for your toppings.
5
Spoon approximately 75–100 g of nonfat Greek yogurt onto the centre of each bowl and spread it slightly so it nestles into the warm grain — the yogurt should begin to soften at the edges immediately, creating a beautiful contrast of cool creaminess against the warm, fragrant base.
6
Arrange the diced Granny Smith apple and chopped dried apricots across the yogurt in an appealing, generous pattern, allowing their jewel-toned colours to contrast against the pale grain — the bowl should look as vibrant as it tastes.
7
Scatter 1–2 tablespoons of fresh alfalfa sprouts delicately over the top, then finish with a fine drizzle of honey (1–2 teaspoons per bowl) and a whisper of flaky sea salt; serve immediately while the amaranth is still warm and the sprouts retain their signature crisp, peppery bite.
