Dry Yogurt Bowl (Printable)

A nutritious bowl featuring creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, fresh berries, and added protein for a filling start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy & Protein

01 - 7 oz plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
02 - 1 scoop (about 0.9 oz) unflavored or vanilla protein powder

→ Grains

03 - 1.4 oz granola (low-sugar, nut-free optional)

→ Fruit

04 - 2.5 oz mixed fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)

→ Optional Toppings

05 - 1 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts)
06 - 1 tsp chia seeds
07 - 1 tsp honey or maple syrup

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt and protein powder until smooth and fully incorporated.
02 - Layer granola evenly on top of the yogurt mixture.
03 - Distribute the mixed fresh berries over the granola layer.
04 - Sprinkle chopped nuts and chia seeds over the berries as desired.
05 - Drizzle honey or maple syrup for added sweetness if desired, then serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes but tastes like you planned ahead—no morning stress required.
  • The granola actually stays crunchy instead of turning into mush by the third bite.
  • You get real protein without the chalky aftertaste that derails breakfast.
02 -
  • If you let this bowl sit for more than five minutes, the granola begins absorbing moisture from the yogurt—it's not ruined, but it loses the textural magic you're building for.
  • Stirring the protein powder thoroughly matters more than you'd think; lumps are gritty and ruin the creamy sensation.
03 -
  • Prep your yogurt and protein powder mixture the night before and keep it in a container in the fridge—the granola and fruit go on top only when you're ready to eat, so it stays fresh and crisp.
  • Berries are cheaper and fresher in season, but frozen berries work perfectly here as long as you don't thaw them first—the ice crystals keep everything dry.
