Greek Yogurt Protein Powder Bowl Recipe

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.

Why Should I Use Drink Wholesome?

We make our Protein Powders from whole food protein sources like egg whites and almonds.

Our Ingredients

egg whites

coconut

vanilla

monk fruit

NOT Our Ingredients

• acacia gum

• acesulfame potassium

• artificial flavors

• carrageenan

• erythritol

• guar gum

• inulin

• maltodextrin

• 'natural' flavors

• silica

• soy lecithin

• sucralose

• xanthan gum

• xylitol

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

As a result, they have a chalky aftertaste and rubbery texture. 

Whole foods, on the other hand, taste like real food.

It is worth adding that we sweeten our protein powders with monk fruit – a small, melon-like round fruit native to Southeast Asia.

We like monk fruit because it is sweet like sugar.

Other sugar substitutes, including artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, and stevia activate bitter taste receptors (J Agric Food Chem, 2016).

As you can imagine, this aftertaste might ruin your recipe!
