- Puffed wheat cereal
- Fruit of choice
- Nuts / seeds of choice
- Protein powder
- Milk of choice / water
Versatility
The thing I love most about this high protein yoghurt bowl is the versatility it offers. Start with a yoghurt, milk and protein powder base, then add any mix ins you’d like.
I love adding fresh or frozen fruit for sweetness and flavour, nuts and/or seeds for healthy fats, and puffed wheat or granola for a lovely crunch.
The type of protein powder used can also change the flavour profile and create a different base. Think of the yoghurt and protein powder as a flavour of ice cream and your mix ins as ice cream toppings. It really does taste that good!
Tips
Protein is one of the main contributors to the feeling of satiation. That, and making sure your meals contain a balanced amount of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. This high protein yoghurt bowl contains all that and more with added antioxidants and nutrients from the fruit and nuts.
If choosing a dairy free yoghurt, I love using the oat based varieties as they offer a similar caloric and protein content to that of dairy yoghurt. It’s also important to note that most plant-based yoghurts will have probiotics added so that you gain maximum benefits from the yoghurt as you would with dairy based varieties.
If you’re trying to keep this yoghurt bowl low calorie, using unsweetened almond milk and puffed wheat cereal will give you all the benefits with a low amount of calories.
If you’re wanting your yoghurt bowl more filling and hearty, using soy or oat milk and granola will add more dense nutrients and a few more calories to fuel your day.

High Protein Yoghurt Bowl Recipe
High Protein Yoghurt Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup yoghurt (I use an oat-based yoghurt)
- 1 scoop protein powder (I use leanfit vegan vanilla)
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (I use almond milk)
- 1/2 cup puffed wheat cereal (or granola)
- 1/2 cup fruit of choice
- 1 tbsp nuts or seeds of choice
Instructions
- Combine yoghurt with protein powder, add milk slowly while mixing until you have a desired consistency. The protein powder thickens the yoghurt quite a bit so this helps with the consistency. You can also sub the milk for water if you'd like.
- Mix in cereal, fruit and nuts/seeds, enjoy!
