Greek yogurt is naturally higher in protein and lower in carbs than regular yogurt especially if you choose full-fat, plain varieties. It’s a perfect base for building a bowl that feels indulgent but fits into your macros.
And the best part? No cooking required.
The Ingredients I Always Keep on Hand for Low Carb Yogurt Bowls
Here’s what I always have stocked in my fridge and pantry for building the best Greek yogurt keto bowls. Think of this like your yogurt bowl toolkit.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt (Fage 5% is my favorite it’s thick and creamy without being too tangy)

- Vanilla extract (trust me, it makes a huge difference)
- Nuts and seeds: almonds, pecans, macadamia, hemp seeds
- Unsweetened coconut
- Low carb fruits: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries
- Nut butter: almond butter, peanut butter (in moderation)
These ingredients give you a good balance of fat, fiber, and flavor. And they let you change things up so it never feels repetitive.

My Tips for Making the Perfect Low Carb Yogurt Bowl
I’ve learned a few tricks along the way that make a big difference in flavor and texture. Here’s what I do every time:
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt. Always. It’s more filling, more flavorful, and better for keto.
- Sweeten it yourself. Pre-sweetened yogurts usually have hidden sugars or weird ingredients. I use monk fruit or stevia just a teaspoon goes a long way.
- Don’t skip the vanilla. It makes even plain yogurt taste like a treat.
- Add a crunchy topping. Nuts, seeds, or even toasted coconut flakes give the perfect bite.
- Keep portions in check. Even low carb fruits have some sugar, so measure out your berries instead of eyeballing it.

- Stonyfield Grass-Fed Greek Yogurt: 7g carbs, 16g protein, 9g fat
- Maple Hill Greek Yogurt: 9g carbs, 15g protein, 7g fat
These are plain, full-fat, and have just two ingredients: milk and live cultures. That’s what you want.
