Greek Yogurt Bowl with Protein Powder (Easiest High-Protein Snack That is Delish!)

6 hours ago 4

Some days, it can feel like it’s hard to prioritize our nutrition. Between shuttling kids, work, projects, appointments, and that never-ending laundry pile, it’s easy to forget to eat, to skip meals, or just grab something that’s not healthy.

That’s why I’m so excited to share my go-to snack that’s healthy, filling, packed with protein, and takes literally one minute or less to make.

This delicious little combo is one of my favorite high-protein snacks. It delivers 27+ grams of protein and has about 320 calories, making it a perfect mid-morning or afternoon pick-me-up that keeps me going without the sugar crash.

Why This High-Protein Snack Works…and I Just Had to Share It

Let’s start with what I love most: it’s fast. Like, truly fast. No stove, no blender, no chopping required. If you’ve got a spoon and a bowl, you’re all set. It’s the kind of snack you can throw together while juggling a toddler on your hip, managing school pick-up, or squeezing in a bite between Zoom calls.

But, even better, it’s not just quick; it’s satisfying. With over 27 grams of protein, this snack keeps you satisfied longer and helps steady your blood sugar… which makes a big difference when your day is full and you need steady energy (not a sugar crash an hour later).

I also love how flexible it is. Whether you’re craving something sweet, crunchy, fruity, or even a little indulgent, it’ll satisfy your craving. And, you can make it work with what you’ve got on hand. I’ve mixed and matched toppings a dozen different ways based on what’s in the fridge or pantry, and it always turns out delicious.

And finally? It’s kid-approved and mom-approved. When my kids see me enjoying yogurt topped with berries or granola, they almost always ask for some, too. It’s a small but powerful way to model healthy habits — starting with what we put on our own plates, even if it only takes a minute to make.

Greek Yogurt Bowl Ingredients

Here’s what I use in my go-to version:

1 serving (5.3 oz) Greek yogurt – 15g protein, 90 calories
1 scoop Orgain Nut Butter Protein Powder – 10g protein, 70 calories
¼ cup granola – 2–5g protein, ~120 calories
½ cup berries – 40 calories

Optional swaps: Watching your calories? Skip the granola! Want a healthy but indulgent-feeling treat? Trade the granola for a spoonful of whipped topping, a few mini chocolate chips, or a sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs instead. Make it fun! You could also add dried fruit or nuts or drizzle with honey!

How to Make It (In Under a Minute)

Scoop your Greek yogurt into a bowl (or eat straight from the container — no shame here!).
Add your protein powder.
Stir until smooth. It blends up creamy with a delicious nut butter flavor.
Top with granola and berries.
Grab a spoon and enjoy!

A Word About the Protein Powder

I’ve tried so many protein powders that clump, taste chalky, or just don’t play well with food. But Orgain Nut Butter Protein Powder? It’s a game-changer.

It mixes effortlessly into yogurt (no gritty texture!), and the flavor is rich and nutty without being overpowering. I usually buy it on Amazon, but Whole Foods also carries it. I always keep a container on hand.

Easy Tips to Make This Work for You

Meal prep it: Mix up a few servings in small jars and keep them in the fridge. Just wait to add the granola so it stays crunchy.
Try different flavors: Use vanilla Greek yogurt for variety or try strawberry or lemon Greek yogurt and use vanilla protein powder.
Frozen fruit works, too: If fresh berries are expensive or out of season, you can use frozen berries or dried fruit (or use other types of fruit, like bananas).
Want more fiber? Add chia seeds or ground flaxseed for a little extra nutrition.
Make it pretty: Layer it in little glass jars for an eye-pleasing look!

This simple snack has become one of those small-but-powerful ways I take care of myself, especially on really full days. It helps me feel better, fuel my body well, and stay on track… even when life feels a little chaotic. And I truly believe we all deserve those kinds of easy wins.

Give it a try and let me know how you make it your own! I’d love to hear what toppings or mix-ins you use. I’m always up for discovering a new favorite combo.
