I always try to ensure I get enough protein throughout the day. There are so many benefits to consuming adequate protein like keeping you feeling full longer, muscle growth, and balancing blood sugar. As much as I love eating meat, I also wanted a little variety to my diet. Yogurt bowls are a great way to meet my goals and are so versatile. They’re quick, balanced, easy to customize, and can be eaten at any time of the day.
One thing to remember: not all yogurt is created equal. Many are loaded with added sugars and unnecessary ingredients. When looking for yogurt, I always read the ingredients and usually end up getting a type of Greek yogurt that is minimally processed. Greek yogurt generally has higher protein content, making it an excellent choice.
There are various flavors out there, but I prefer to get plain and add what I want. Doing this provides endless and versatile recipes. I can control the nutritional value and sweetness much easier.
Here’s how I make my high protein Greek yogurt bowl:
- Start with the base. I always start with Greek yogurt. Add this to your bowl first.
- Mix in Protein. I then usually mix in 1 scoop of protein powder or collagen. Some days when I have already hit my protein goals, I’ll skip this step.
- Add the mix-ins. Get creative and adjust to your macros and taste preferences. My favorite toppings: chia seeds, blueberries, raspberries, chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey.
This is a balanced, high-protein bowl. It supports my body and satisfies my sweet tooth and I can prepare it in less than 5 minutes.
HOW TO ADJUST: want more fiber? Add more fruit. Want more fat? Add more nut butter. Want more carbs? Add honey or chocolate chips. The possibilities are truly endless. Want more protein and less carbs? Skip the chocolate chips and honey and add the protein powder.
