What’s great about a yogurt bowl
I think a lot of people struggle with getting enough protein in their first meal of the day. Yogurt bowls are a great way to load in protein, nutrients, and fiber. All things that help start your day off with more energy, less crash, and feeling satisfied.
I love a rich creamy texture, so I always go to Greek yogurt for my bowls. Plain Greek yogurt is the best because there’s no added sugar and with all the toppings, you don’t need it. I suggest non-fat if you want to keep it lower calorie and fat but feel free to use 2% or full-fat yogurt for an even creamier bowl.
Ingredients and Substitutions:
These are the main ingredients and substitutions for all 4 yogurt bowls. See the recipe card below for the full ingredients list and instructions.
- Greek Yogurt: you can use your favorite yogurt or even flavored. I like using plain nonfat greek yogurt and creating flavors using protein powder and toppings.
- Protein Powder: PEScience is my preferred brand to use but you can use your favorite. Be sure it mixes well with yogurt and it is a flavor you love!
Variations and Substitutions
- To make this dairy-free, use a dairy-free yogurt and ensure toppings are free of dairy.
- Plain Greek yogurt is naturally gluten-free so just be sure your protein powder and toppings are as well.
- Swap with any of your favorite fruits and toppings to create your own!
- Make a batch of easy homemade Low Carb Lemon Granola or Homemade Vanilla Granola to put on top.
How to make a high protein yogurt bowl (a visual step-by-step guide):
Step 1: make yogurt base
Choose which bowl you want to make. Combine the yogurt and protein powder (image 1).
Stir together until well combined (image 2). For the Apple Pie yogurt, you will also mix in the applesauce with the yogurt.
Step 2: add toppings
Add your desired toppings (image 3) and enjoy your yogurt bowl.
Expert Tip!
Use a protein powder you love the flavor of and one that mixes very well with liquid and yogurt otherwise you will end up with a chalky yogurt base.
Recipe FAQs
My favorite way to serve these bowls is with an oversized bowl. This makes sure I have enough room to stir everything together without toppings falling out.
You can store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container, but granola tends to get soggy if it sits in yogurt for too long. For meal prep, you can pre-mix your base, and add toppings (excluding granola, add that when you’re ready to enjoy) to grab and go.
Each bowl uses protein powder to not only add protein but also to sweeten it. I use PEScience because I’ve found it’s the best flavor, use code OHSNAP to save. Use a protein powder you love the taste of that doesn’t taste chalky!
If you decide to forgo the protein powder, you’ll want to make up for the lost flavor. For vanilla protein powder recipes, add 1/4-1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract or honey in place of vanilla protein powder or use vanilla Greek yogurt.
To omit chocolate protein powder, use 1 tsp. cocoa powder and 1-2 tsp. honey or maple syrup. You can also use vanilla Greek yogurt and add cocoa to it to avoid adding additional sweetener.Â
