Creating Your Power Protein Yogurt Bowl
Follow this simple step-by-step guide to create your perfect protein-packed breakfast. Each element adds specific nutritional benefits while creating layers of delicious flavors and textures. The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility—customise it to your preferences while maintaining its nutritional powerhouse status.
Step 1: Start With Your Yogurt Base
Spoon ¾ cup of Greek yogurt into a bowl. This creamy foundation provides 15-20g of high-quality protein—nearly twice the amount found in regular yogurt. The protein helps build muscle, supports immunity, and keeps you feeling fuller longer.
For an extra protein boost, mix in a small scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder at this stage, which can add an additional 10-15g of protein to your meal.
Step 2: Stir in Chia Seeds
Step 3: Add Your Fruit
Step 4: Sprinkle Your Crunch
Step 5: Drizzle and Finish
Add a final touch of natural sweetness with a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Unlike refined sugars, these natural sweeteners contain beneficial antioxidants and nutrients.
For additional nutritional boosts, consider these optional toppings:
- Cinnamon: Helps regulate blood sugar levels
- Ground flax seeds: Provides additional omega-3s and lignans
- Shredded coconut: Offers medium-chain triglycerides for energy
