An egg-free, dairy-free breakfast that takes less than 5 minutes to throw together. I go to bed dreaming of this protein-packed yogurt bowl.

High Protein Yogurt Bowls - Olivia Adriance

One of the most common requests I get is for high-protein breakfasts that are both egg-free and dairy-free. And let me tell you, the struggle is real! Finding something that is easy enough to make for a morning meal but also includes enough protein is difficult. But my High-Protein Yogurt Bowls fit the bill and are delicious and easy enough for any weekday morning.

The protein in this recipe comes primarily from the protein powder. While there is some protein in non-dairy yogurt, it tends to be minimal. A scoop of protein powder, such as @truvani organic vanilla plant-based protein does the trick. When you mix it with the coconut yogurt, it becomes light, fluffy, and truly irresistible.

Top with whatever fruit you have or add in hemp or chia seeds for extra fiber, crunch, and protein. And be sure to check out my other high-protein breakfast recipes in my ebook, Protein Empowered!

Ingredients for Protein Yogurt Bowl

Here’s what you’ll need to make this craveable protein-forward yogurt bowl.

High Protein Yogurt Bowls Ingredients - Olivia Adriance

Non-dairy Yogurt: I love how many options there are in the non-dairy aisle of the grocery store. I recommend looking at the ingredient list and making sure there aren’t too many additives. Many companies add fillers like gums and inflammatory oils to get the same consistency as traditional dairy or Greek yogurt. One of my favorite non-dairy yogurt brands is @cocojune_organic.
Protein Powder: Finding a protein powder that tastes good and doesn’t upset your stomach is a real challenge. I like @truvani and @ritual protein powders because they are plant-based, taste amazing, and mix well in this recipe. I don’t find either of these to be too gritty. That said, use your favorite brand!
Nut Milk: Nearly as hard as finding a clean protein powder is finding a clean nut milk. I try to always have a batch of my Creamy Vanilla Cashew Milk on hand. In the rare instances that I haven’t made it for the week, I look for a brand with minimal ingredients and no gums or oils. I love @malkorganics and @threetreesfoods.

Honey: A drizzle of raw honey from @beekeepers_naturals just adds a little extra something to this yogurt bowl. Raw honey contains antioxidants, minerals, and is anti-inflammatory — a great natural immune boost!
Nut Butter: When protein is paired with a healthy fat such as almond, peanut, or cashew butter, you will actually stay fuller for longer. Not to mention, nut butter is just so delicious there’s no reason not to enjoy it here!
Granola: For some crunch, I’ve topped mine with @purelyelizabeth organic original granola. Homemade granola — like my Maple Peanut Butter Granola — would be the ultimate topper, but of course, we don’t always have time for that.
Fruit: Use whatever you have or whatever is in season. For this, I topped mine with sliced golden kiwi (simply the best) and fresh berries. If it’s fall, sliced apples with pomegranate seeds would be delicious, as would bananas and berries.

Fun Fact:

You don’t have to peel golden kiwi because they have a thin, fuzz-free skin that is entirely edible and a great source of Vitamin E.

How to Make High-Protein Yogurt Bowls

Choose your favorite bowl and add in your non-dairy yogurt. Mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder until fully combined. Add almond milk until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. I like to start by adding a tablespoon at a time.

Top with fruit such as sliced kiwis and berries, a tablespoon of almond butter, a handful of granola, and a drizzle of raw honey. Grab a spoon and enjoy!
