High protein winter breakfast bowl
This is the kind of high protein breakfast bowl you can have 2 or 3 times a week with minimun prep time. Make the greek yoghurt and chia seed base so there is enough for 3 days. Each morning, serve in a bowl or container to go and add a variety of fruits, nuts and seeds. You should be able to hit 30g protein and about 10g fibre.
ingredients
to make 1 bowl
200g high protein Greek yoghurt :20g protein
2 tbsp Chia seeds : 10g fibre / 5g protein
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds: 1g fibre / 1g protein
3 small prunes: 2g fibre
1/2 satsuma: 1g fibre
2 tbsp blueberries: 1g fibre
Total protein= 26g ( bit low for me, so I often add 1/2 scoop of protein)
Total fibre= 15g fibre (half the recommended daily intake)
method
The night before: In a medium bowl add the chia seeds and yoghurt and stir well. You can add a little milk to loosen it a bit.
Store in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, top with choice of fruit, nuts and seeds and vary each day if possible.
Be creative and play with the flavours, fruits and texture!
the health boost tip
If using frozen fruit, thaw prior to layering or as I love to do, warm them up as well (in a pan or microwave) to form a jam like layer!
Chia seeds are a great source of plant protein and fibre to keep you full for longer.
