Chocolate Protein Yogurt Bowl
Creamy, chocolatey, high-protein snack or breakfast—ready in 5 minutes!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 bowl
Ingredients
-
1 cup whole milk yogurt (or dairy-free/almond yogurt)
-
1 scoop chocolate peanut butter protein powder (or chocolate/vanilla protein)
-
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 chopped peanut butter cookie bar (or any favorite snack bar)
-
2 tablespoons granola (or chopped nuts, cereal, or seeds)
-
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (optional, for drizzle)
-
Sliced strawberries (or any berries for topping)
Instructions
-
Mix the Base – In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, protein powder, and cocoa powder. Stir until completely smooth. If too thick, add a teaspoon of milk to loosen.
-
Prepare Toppings – Chop cookie bar, slice berries, and measure granola. Warm peanut butter for 10 seconds if you want it drizzle-able.
-
Assemble the Bowl – Pour the chocolate yogurt base into your serving bowl. Arrange toppings however you like: granola, cookie chunks, berries, and a swirl of peanut butter.
-
Serve & Enjoy – Eat immediately for the creamiest texture. Optionally, cover and chill for a firmer, pudding-like texture.
Notes
-
Protein Swap: Any chocolate or vanilla protein works; adjust sweetness to taste.
-
Toppings: Use pantry-friendly swaps like chocolate chips, crumbled cookies, nuts, or seeds.
-
Make-Ahead: Store base in fridge, add crunchy toppings just before eating to keep them crisp.
-
Texture Tip: Let base sit 2–3 minutes after mixing to hydrate protein powder fully.
