Beet Yogurt with Walnuts
Beets and yogurt? Heck yes. Savoury yogurt is a definite ‘thing’. Bon Appetit said so, so it must be so. And I couldn’t be happier because this simple beet yogurt with walnuts is a simple 3 minute meal that feels so satisfying.
I have to admit that sweet breakfasts are not my natural habitat. As a kid, I wouldn’t even eat pancakes, waffles, or French toast! Odd, but 100% true. This dietitian has always been, ahem, unique.
And while I have absolutely warmed to the delights of pancakes, waffles and fruity smoothies, I still have a very strong love of savoury breakfasts, like this wonderful beet yogurt with walnuts. It’s one of those plant-based recipes that somehow feels a bit special – maybe even fancy? – even though it only takes about 3 minutes to make.
It’s a great way to use up leftover roasted beets…and you don’t have to only eat it at breakfast. It makes a great simple lunch too, perhaps with a slice of 100% rye sourdough to further enhance the Scandi-vibes.

Sound good? Then gather your ingredients!
- Cooked beets: use up your leftover roasted beets, or buy some pre-cooked beets at the store!
- Thick,unsweetened vegan yogurt: if you have a Greek-style yogurt where you live, grab that. In the US, Forager, Kite Hill and Lavva are all great. So far, my favourite yogurt in Canada is Yoggu brand.
- Walnuts: mineral rich, with some omega 3 fatty acids, their earthy flavour pairs beautifully with beets
- Caraway seeds: I love this mild, aromatic spice with beets!
