A no-fuss, high-protein breakfast, lunch or snack that actually tastes good.
WHY THIS RECIPE IS GREAT
This Greek yoghurt bowl is one of those meals that takes under five minutes to make but still manages to tick all the right boxes. It’s sweet without being junk food. It’s packed with protein, light on calories, and has enough carbs to give you a boost without a crash.
You can eat it post-gym, first thing in the morning, or as a quick snack between work and training. It’s filling, easy, and doesn’t need cooking. If you’ve got a spoon and a bowl, you’re good to go.
INGREDIENTS IN GREEK PROTEIN YOGHURT BOWL
GREEK YOGHURT (0% OR 2%)
Either works depending on whether you’re watching fats or need the extra calories. Both keep it creamy and give you a good protein base.
VANILLA OR CHOCOLATE PROTEIN POWDER
Use whatever flavour you like. This isn’t mandatory, but it does push the protein way up and adds flavour.
SLICED BANANA + GREEN APPLE
These bring in natural sugars and crunch. Keeps it from tasting like plain yoghurt mush.
HONEY
A small drizzle brings the whole thing together. Adds just enough sweetness without going overboard.

HOW TO MAKE A GREEK PROTEIN YOGHURT BOWL
- Grab a bowl. Scoop in the yoghurt.
- Add your protein powder and mix it well. Use a spoon to almost whisk it until smooth. No dry clumps.
- Top with your sliced banana and green apple.
- Drizzle with honey. Done. Eat
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR THE BEST RESULTS
Mix the protein powder with a splash of water or milk before adding to the yoghurt if your powder clumps up easily.
Use a cold bowl to keep it thick and refreshing.
If you’re on a lean bulk, go for 2% yoghurt (or even 5-10% fat) and maybe even bump the honey or fruit.
If you’re cutting, drop the honey and swap in 0% fat yoghurt. Still hits the spot.

-
You can skip the protein powder if you just want a light snack.

Add frozen berries if you’re cutting.

Throw in a chopped medjool date or two if you’re looking for a bigger calorie bump while bulking.
