High Protein Yogurt Bowl

This High Protein Yogurt Bowl is the easiest 30 grams protein breakfast you’ll find, made in less than 5 minutes. These meal prep yogurt bowls can also be loaded up with fiber and antioxidants with endless flavor and topping variations.

This high protein yogurt bowl is insanely simple — which is why it’s all the more beloved. As a registered dietitian, I’m a big believer that not every meal needs to be complicated or time-consuming in order to be balanced and delicious. This high protein Greek yogurt is the perfect example of a realistically balanced, convenient breakfast that absolutely can work for you!

Why You’ll Love This High Protein Greek Yogurt

• High protein – Greek yogurt is naturally high in protein, but by blending in some protein powder, you quickly have a 30 grams protein breakfast (or more!).
• Two ingredients – for the base of this Greek yogurt, all you need is two ingredients.
• Have fun with toppings – adding toppings like fresh fruit, granola, and high fiber nuts and seeds are easy ways to increase both the satisfaction and nutrition of this breakfast bowl.
• Easy for Meal Prep – while this high protein yogurt bowl is super quick to make on a busy morning, you can save even more time by prepping them in advance for a high protein grab-and-go style breakfast.

Protein Benefits

So what’s the big deal with protein? While the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends adult women consume 46+ grams of protein per day and adult men consume 56+ grams, this is simply to prevent protein deficiency. Many individuals find they feel better consuming a higher protein diet. Research also supports many benefits possibly being associated with a higher protein intake:

• Weight management
• Hunger management
• Reduced cravings
• Muscle growth
• Bone health
• Improved metabolism
• Lowers blood pressure

High Protein Yogurt Bowl Ingredients

For a full ingredient list with quantities, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Greek Yogurt: any brand, flavor, or type of Greek yogurt will work. I personally prefer brands with low or no added sugar. You also can use Icelandic yogurts (also higher protein) or quark, too!
• Protein Powder: Use whatever works for you! Clean Simple Eats is a personal favorite of mine (truly the best tasting vanilla protein powder I’ve ever tried!), along with Optimum Nutrition (I love their Double Rich Chocolate!) You can also use Naked Whey for an unflavored option, or even Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, too. (These are great as like a blank slate option, because they don’t have any flavors that take away from the other flavors in your protein yogurt bowl.)
• Toppings: granola, fruit, nuts, seeds – there are SO many options! Scroll below to see a list of more topping ideas!

Protein Yogurt Meal Prep

To keep the toppings fresh, I recommend prepping the protein yogurt component ahead of time and keeping the fruit and granola toppings on the side.

You can use any containers you have, but I love these glass 3-compartment meal prep containers from Amazon!

Once prepped, the protein yogurt bowls can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
