quick and easy protein-packed yogurt bowl
INGREDIENTS
Protein
3/4 c. plain greek yogurt :: we love FAGE // whichever percentage you prefer works.
option to add 1 serving of collage to increase protein
option to add 1 serving protein powder to increase protein
Fat
1-2 Tbsp chia seeds :: “excellent source of fiber, which can improve heart health, reduce cholesterol levels and promote intestinal health. fiber takes longer to digest and makes you feel satisfied longer, which is how it can help with weight loss and decrease your risk of developing diabetes or heart disease.”
1-2 Tbsp hemp hearts :: “have been known to improve focus and cognitive functioning. They contain brain-friendly antioxidants, omega fats, essential vitamins, and minerals. They are rich in two essential fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6).“
1-2 Tbsp flax seed or flax seed meal :: commonly used to improve digestive health or relieve constipation. Flaxseed may also help lower total blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol levels, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Carbs
2 Tbsp living coconut yogurt :: we love GT’s COCOYO // full of probiotic cultures :: “research shows that probiotics can improve gut health, protect against infections, reduce the risk of colon cancer and low density lipoproteins (LDL) whilst improving the LDL and high density lipoprotein balance 6.”
1/2 – 1 c. seasonal fruit :: for this yogurt we’re using halos as those are in-season
1-2 Tbsp granola of your choosing :: we love any flavor by purely Elizabeth // this adds sweetness to our bowl without having to add an extra sweetener!
Notes
add whatever fruit, nuts, seeds, etc of your choosing! the above is just a bowl we’ve been loving lately that satisfies our own hunger cravings. every body is different and has different wants/needs.
INSTRUCTIONS
greek yogurt is a great source of protein and yogurt bowls are something we make almost every day. the best part? they’re pretty simple. all you need to do is grab whatever ingredients feel right to you and assemble your bowl as you see fit!
if you’ve decided to add in collagen and protein powder :: put the yogurt in your bowl first, add the powders and stir together to combine. after, you’ll add the coconut yogurt, then finish up by adding the toppings of your choosing !
we hope you enjoy ♥️
