This is my go-to healthy breakfast or lunch. I literally brought it to work two times a week at least. It honestly tastes like dessert to me! Actually you can go ahead and eat it as dessert. So Good and packed with antioxidants!! This is also a great way to get in your Protein Powder if you use it.

Ingredients:

2/3 Cup Greek Yogurt*
Vanilla Protein Powder (Follow measurement on label)**
3 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (Only if using protein powder and consistency is too thick)***
1/2 Cup Strawberries
1/3 Cup Blueberries
1/3 Cup Granola
2 Tbsp Dried Cranberries
2 Tbsp Pepita Seeds****
1 Tbsp Cacao Nibs
1 Tbsp Nut Butter (Optional- if you need more fat or protein for the day)

Let’s Make It

Scoop out the yogurt into a bowl or mason jar. If you are using protein powder, add the powder and almond milk and mix until combined (use more almond milk if needed to reach desired consistency). Top with mixed berries, granola, dried cranberries and cacao nibs. Nut butter is great addition for some added protein and flavor!

Notes:

*I buy the tubs of Plain Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt has the most protein.
** The measurement depends on the protein powder you use. I use the following protein right now:
PLANT BASEDVega Sport Protein Powder- 30g of Protein! The scoop is HUGE, so I usually only do 1/2 scoop unless I need the full dose of protein then I do the whole scoop
WHEYLevels Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder- 24g of Protein. I use one scoop of this one, depending on how much protein I am trying to get.
Essentially, more protein in the whey (animal) protein will be absorbed by your body which in turn promotes muscle growth and recovery; but I like the other benefits the plant based protein has as well.
***The added almond milk is only necessary if you are mixing protein powder with the yogurt. The protein powder will make the yogurt very thick and hard to mix. If you add the almond milk it will make it a better, more creamy consistency. Add as much as you need to get the desired consistency.
****I go back and forth between pepita seeds, sliced almonds and chopped walnuts. Choose what ever nut you like most.
