Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or 2% recommended for creaminess
1/4 cup berries fresh or frozen, such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries
1/4 cup chopped nuts almonds, walnuts, or pecans
2 tablespoons seeds chia seeds, flax seeds, or pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional, for sweetness
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon optional
pinch salt

Method

In a medium-sized bowl, add the cooked quinoa. Ensure your quinoa is cooked according to package directions and has cooled slightly. This provides a warm, comforting, and protein-rich foundation for your bowl.
1 cup cooked quinoa
Spoon the plain Greek yogurt over the quinoa. You can gently swirl it in or leave it as a dollop on top, depending on your preference for texture and visual appeal. The Greek yogurt is a powerhouse of protein and provides a wonderful creaminess.
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
Gently scatter the fresh or frozen berries over the yogurt and quinoa. If using frozen berries, they will naturally thaw as the bowl sits, releasing their delicious juices. Berries add essential vitamins, antioxidants, and a touch of natural sweetness.
1/4 cup berries
Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the top of your bowl. This adds a satisfying crunch and healthy fats, contributing to the overall satiety of the meal. Almonds, walnuts, or pecans are all excellent choices.
1/4 cup chopped nuts
Sprinkle the seeds (chia, flax, or pumpkin) over the nuts and fruit. These tiny powerhouses are packed with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and additional protein, boosting the nutritional profile of your breakfast bowl.
2 tablespoons seeds
If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the entire bowl. For an extra layer of warmth and flavor, lightly sprinkle cinnamon. A tiny pinch of salt can also help to enhance the sweetness of the other ingredients.
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch salt
Give your High Protein Breakfast Bowl a gentle stir to combine the flavors and textures, or enjoy each spoonful as is. Your nutrient-dense and delicious breakfast is now ready to be savored!
