Creamy Greek yogurt protein bowls are a quick, customizable breakfast or snack packed with protein, fresh fruit, crunchy toppings, and a swirl of honey. They’re easy to make, endlessly adaptable, and deliver a perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and sweet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (6 oz) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 scoop (about 1 oz/30 g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped mango or peach
  • 1/4 cup chopped apple or pear
  • 2 tablespoons granola (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 1 teaspoon seeds (chia, flax, pumpkin, sunflower)
  • 1 teaspoon honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Greek yogurt, protein powder, and your chosen fresh toppings. Wash and dry fruit, chop as needed.
  2. Add Greek yogurt to a bowl. Sprinkle protein powder evenly over the top. Mix thoroughly with a small whisk or fork until smooth. If too thick, add 1 tablespoon milk or water.
  3. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over yogurt. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and cinnamon if desired. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  4. Arrange fresh fruit on top: berries, banana slices, mango or apple chunks. Add granola, then sprinkle nuts and seeds.
  5. Drizzle extra honey, add a dusting of cinnamon, or top with coconut flakes if desired.
  6. Serve immediately, or refrigerate (without crunchy toppings) for up to 2 days. Add crunchy toppings just before eating.

Notes

Use dairy-free Greek-style yogurt and plant-based protein powder for vegan bowls. For gluten-free, use gluten-free granola or omit. Prep toppings ahead in jars for quick assembly. Let yogurt sit out for 5 minutes for extra creaminess. Add crunchy toppings last to keep them crisp. Customize with seasonal fruit, nut butters, or different seeds.
