High Protein Breakfast Bowl for Energy and Fiber

Lately this has been my go-to breakfast almost every single morning. Hate to say it…but I am now really understanding the hype around prioritizing protein in the morning.

This high protein breakfast bowl keeps me full for hours, gives me so much more steady energy throughout the day, and doesn’t leave me crashing an hour later looking for snacks.

I also love that it’s packed with both protein and fiber which has been such a game changer for me, especially postpartum and during busy seasons of life when I need meals that are quick but nourishing.

The best part is how customizable it is. You can change the toppings depending on the season, what your kids will eat, or just whatever you have in your pantry that week.

Morning Breakfast Bowl

Ingredients

½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup cottage cheese
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons water

Optional Toppings

Granola (this is my favorite kind of granola)
Frozen berries
Banana slices
Unsweetened coconut
Pure maple syrup
Peanut butter drizzle

Directions

Scoop the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese into a bowl. Stir in the chia seeds and water and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.

Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

I usually do frozen berries, granola, coconut, and a little peanut butter drizzle which makes it taste filling enough to almost feel like dessert while still being loaded with nutrients.

Enjoy!

If you’ve been trying to find a breakfast that actually keeps you energized through the morning, this one is absolutely worth trying.
