A high-protein breakfast or snack that blends antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats all in one delicious jar.
- Prep time: 5 minutes
- No cooking required
- Servings: 1 large or 2 small portions
Ingredients
- 1½ cups full-fat unsweetened Greek yogurt (or Skyr for extra protein)
- 1 cup mixed fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (for fiber & omega-3s)
- 1 small handful mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans), roughly chopped
- Optional: 1 tsp raw honey
- Optional add-in: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (mix into yogurt before layering)
Instructions
- Mix Base (Optional): If using protein powder, stir it into the Greek yogurt until smooth. This boosts satiety and keeps blood sugar more stable.
- First Layer: Spoon half of the yogurt into a glass, bowl, or jar.
- Add Berries & Seeds: Top with half the berries and sprinkle with chia seeds.
- Repeat: Add the rest of the yogurt, then finish with more berries and a generous sprinkle of chopped nuts.
- Finish: Drizzle lightly with raw honey or your favorite sweetener, if desired.
Pro Tips & Creative Variations
- 🥭 Tropical Twist: Use mango, pineapple, and passionfruit instead of berries.
- 🥣 Crunch Factor: Add a tablespoon of homemade granola or toasted oats just before serving.
- 🌱 Gut Boost: Add a spoonful of kefir or probiotic yogurt for digestive support.
- ⏳ Meal Prep: Assemble in a sealed jar the night before (leave out nuts until serving).
- 🧊 Storage Advice: Refrigerate if prepping ahead best consumed within 24 hours. Store nuts separately until ready to eat to maintain their crunch.
