High Protein Yogurt Bowl
This high protein yogurt bowl is a thick, ultra-creamy breakfast that feels like dessert. A glossy blend of Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, and peanut butter is finished with a warm hint of cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 8 ounces - I used 0% fat
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder about 1/4 cup - 25 grams
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- toppings: granola, fruit, peanut butter, honey, cacao nibs, cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the protein powder to the bowl first, then add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and cinnamon, and whisk until fully smooth. The mixture will shift from streaky and loose to thick, glossy, and evenly colored once the powder is fully hydrated.
- Finish with your chosen toppings and serve right away. For the best contrast, the base should stay creamy while the toppings add crunch, freshness, and a little extra richness.
Notes
Mixing tip: Place the protein powder at the bottom of the bowl before adding the yogurt to prevent the dry powder from blowing over the rim while you stir.
Texture tip: Use a mini whisk or a small silicone spatula instead of a spoon to break up dry pockets quickly and create a lump-free, frosting-like consistency.
Hydration pause: Let the mixed base sit for about 2 minutes before serving. This allows the protein powder to fully absorb the yogurt, smoothing out any remaining chalkiness.
Meal prep: You can mix the yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, and cinnamon ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Keep fresh fruit and crunchy granola in separate compartments until serving so the base does not get watery and the granola stays crunchy.
