High-Protein Berry Skyr Bowl
This High-Protein Berry Skyr Bowl is a quick, balanced, and delicious breakfast or snack, packed with over 25g of protein, fiber from berries and seeds, and healthy fats from nuts.
For 1 serving
Gather all your ingredients and a medium-sized serving bowl.
Carefully spoon the entire 170g pot of plain Skyr into your chosen serving bowl, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Evenly arrange the mixed berries (fresh or frozen) over the Skyr. If using frozen berries, allow them to sit for 2-3 minutes to slightly thaw and release a little juice.
Generously sprinkle the chopped walnuts and chia seeds over the berries and Skyr, ensuring an even distribution for texture in every bite.
For an optional touch of sweetness, drizzle the maple syrup or honey over the top of the bowl. Add a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired for extra flavor.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and vibrant flavors. Stir gently before eating if you prefer the ingredients to be combined.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For a thicker, colder bowl, use frozen berries directly from the freezer. They will slowly thaw and create a slightly jammy texture.
- 2Meal prep hack: Portion Skyr into individual containers. Store nuts, seeds, and berries separately. Assemble just before eating to prevent sogginess.
- 3Boost your fiber and omega-3s by adding an extra tablespoon of ground flaxseed or hemp hearts.
- 4For enhanced crunch and flavor, lightly toast the chopped walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant before adding to the bowl.
Adapt it for your goals.
