Why Should I Make a Protein Powder Greek Yogurt Bowl?

Ready for a high protein snack that can be made in minutes?

Adding protein powder to a bowl of yogurt is a quick and easy way to add protein to your diet.

Although any type of yogurt will do the trick, Greek yogurt is the best option.

Not only is it thicker and creamier than regular yogurt, but it also has more protein and less sugar.

I recommend using plain Greek yogurt and flavored protein powder.

Keep in mind that like all dairy products, Greek yogurt contains lactose.

Greek yogurt contains much less lactose than regular yogurt, however, which means most people with lactose intolerance can tolerate it.

It also contains live and active cultures, which help break down the lactose that it does contain. 

It is worth adding that because protein is the most satiating macronutrient, eating Greek yogurt with protein powder for breakfast will keep you full until lunch.

This, in turn, helps curb cravings and overeating.

It also explains why adding low-sugar, high-protein yogurt-based snacks to your diet can help fuel weight loss efforts

How Do I Make a High Protein Yogurt Bowl?

Incorporating protein powder into your yogurt bowl could not be easier.

All you have to do is mix and add high protein toppings like nuts and seeds.

Note that not all protein powders are created equal.

Some have a much better texture and flavor than others.

Other protein powders are made from protein concentrates and isolates, which have been mechanically and/or chemically stripped of everything but the protein.

Protein concentrates and isolates therefore have a chalky aftertaste and rubbery texture (unlike whole foods). 

We also sweeten our protein powders with monk fruit – a small, melon-like round fruit native to Southeast Asia.

Other protein powders rely on sugar substitutes like sucralose and stevia.

Unlike sugar, these sweeteners activate bitter taste receptors in addition to sweet taste receptors.

Monk fruit, on the other hand, is sweet like sugar!

Order Samples to see for yourself. 

In case you were wondering, although monk fruit sweetener is relatively new, monk fruit itself has been safely used in Asian cuisine for centuries.

Small randomized trials have even shown that monk fruit does not negatively impact blood glucose (sugar) or insulin levels.

In short, if you need a protein powder to add to your favorite recipes, try Drink Wholesome.

You will not find a healthier or better-tasting alternative.
