This yogurt protein bowl feels like a decadent treat, but made with good-for-you ingredients and packs in the protein in a delicious and healthy way!

It is the most epic yogurt bowl recipe! I mean you can’t go wrong with yogurt, peanut butter and your favorite protein powder.

One of the main struggles I see with my personal training clients is getting in more protein. I get it, protein isn’t always as fun as carbs and fat, but it is essential in our diets.

Protein (amino acids) are the building blocks of cells, tissues, organs, and systems (provide structure and function), are crucial to the production of hormones, helps with digestion, helps with having a good body composition and gaining muscle, and helps keep us full (just to name a few!).

While I think focusing on real whole nutrient-dense foods is the best way to get protein, I love using protein powder for an extra boost. And this protein yogurt bowl does exactly that!

I’m not sure how I came up with this easy concoction, but I’ve been making it for years. Depending on how much of each ingredient you use, this high-protein yogurt bowl can be eaten for breakfast (as a full meal) or as a snack. Heck, I’ve even made a smaller portion of it for dessert! Adjust the quantities to fit your individual needs and goals.

Why I love this protein yogurt bowl

Are yogurt bowls healthy?

A yogurt bowl is a great choice for a healthy breakfast, snack, or even dessert. They are full of protein and healthy fats, probiotics, and some have carbs depending on the toppings you use. They also contain vitamins and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamin B12.

Protein and fat are key for helping with satiation and keeping you full while fat gives you a steady source of energy. Look for plain Greek yogurt without any added sugar.

Toppings for a breakfast yogurt bowl:

While this yogurt bowl is good as is, it’s even better with toppings. And with adding the right toppings, you can make a super healthy balanced meal.
