Ingredients for Yogurt Bowls
- Yogurt – there are many plant-based options out there. I like to make my own yogurt from soy milk in my Instant Pot. The best brand I have found is Kite Hill Unsweetened Greek Yogurt. One half cup serving has 13 grams of protein.
- Protein powder – I recommend Truvani but any vegan protein powder should work. Just make sure you pick one that you like the flavor of.
- Banana – adds sweetness and fiber. The banana can be omitted if you are not a fan. You could replace it with ½ cup of mashed sweet potato, applesauce or canned pumpkin.
- Carrots – the star ingredient
- Walnuts and raisins – adds textures and flavor. Can be omitted or replaced with other nuts, seeds or dried fruit
- Pumpkin spice – provides that classic carrot cake flavor.
