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 am liking Truvani right now, but any plant-based protein powder should work. Just make sure you opt for a powder that you like the taste of.
- Banana – adds sweetness and fiber. The banana can be omitted if you are not a fan.
- Berries – full of antioxidants and fiber. Feel free to sub in frozen berries if fresh are not an option or any other fruit you prefer.

FAQs for High Protein Yogurt Bowls
Yes, all of the ingredients are naturally free of gluten.
I am liking the brand Truvani right now. Feel free to use your favorite protein powder, just make sure you like
the flavor as you will taste the protein powder in the recipe.
Feel free to omit the banana. You can replace it with any fruit of your choice.
I follow a plant-based diet, so I either make my own yogurt from soy milk or use the brand Kite Hill Unsweetened Greek Yogurt.
Any fruit will work in place of the blueberries. Some good options that I like include strawberries, apples, pears, raspberries, or any other fruit in season. Frozen fruit would also be a great option for winter months when fresh fruit is not in season.
When you combine the banana, yogurt and protein powder the mixture may be thick depending on the brand of protein powder you are using. I usually add in some water or milk to make it easier to stir as the protein powder can be difficult to mix.
