Ingredients

Instructions
- Prepare the Bagels: Toast the whole grain bagel halves lightly using a toaster or under the broiler if desired, to add a bit of crunch and warmth that contrasts nicely with the creamy toppings.
- Make the Yogurt Spread: In a small bowl, stir together the plain Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using. This creates a creamy and mildly sweet base that complements the fresh fruit flavors.
- Assemble the Fruit Pizzas: Evenly spread the yogurt mixture over each toasted bagel half, ensuring a generous and smooth layer to hold the fruit in place.
- Top with Fresh Fruit: Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, banana, kiwi, and orange segments attractively on top of the yogurt spread for a colorful and appealing presentation.
- Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle chia seeds, granola, or coconut flakes over the fruit-topped bagels to add texture, crunch, and extra nutrition.
