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.
