High-Protein Breakfast Bowl
Kickstart your day with this balanced, high-protein breakfast bowl, designed to provide sustained energy and keep you feeling full until your next meal.
For 1 serving
Gather all your ingredients and ensure any frozen berries are slightly thawed for better texture.
Spoon the plain skyr (or Greek yogurt) into your chosen serving bowl, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Arrange the mixed berries decoratively over the skyr, ensuring a good distribution for flavor in every bite.
Evenly sprinkle the chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts) and chia seeds over the berries.
If desired, drizzle with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness, and/or add a dollop of your favorite nut butter for extra healthy fats and creaminess.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors. For a softer texture, you can let it sit for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some moisture.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For a thicker bowl, use a very thick Greek yogurt or skyr. If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly to release some juices, which can naturally sweeten the bowl.
- 2Meal Prep Hack: Portion out skyr, nuts, and chia seeds into separate containers the night before. Keep berries separate and add them fresh in the morning to prevent sogginess.
- 3Boost of Flavor & Nutrition: Add a dash of vanilla extract to the skyr before topping, or sprinkle with a pinch of ground cardamom for an exotic twist.
- 4Texture Variety: Toast your nuts lightly in a dry pan for a few minutes before chopping and adding them to the bowl for an enhanced nutty flavor and extra crunch.
Adapt it for your goals.
