Start the day on the right foot, with a protein boosted breakfast.
Protein. Protein. Protein.
A mantra for some (definitely for my PT!), and images of mountains of plain grilled chicken breast on everything for many others (me when I first had it drummed into me).
Luckily, plain grilled chicken breast is not on the breakfast for me. Instead, this protein yoghurt recipe makes a healthy and nutritious breakfast.The base yoghurt comes in at 192 calories and a whopping 37g of protein.
Ingredients
Serves | 1
150g 0% Greek yoghurt (I use Fage, as I find it has the best consistency)
25g protein powder (I use MyProtein's Impact Whey Isolate in Chocolate Smooth flavour, which I find to be the least synthetic in taste)
1 tsp chia seeds
Optional Toppings:
15g blueberries
15g raspberries
15g strawberries
OR
Homemade granola (see recipe)
OR
Seed cycling mix (if you know, you know)
Method
Mix well the yoghurt and protein powder together. Make sure all the powder has thoroughly dissolved, else it will taste rather synthetic.
Add the chia seeds and mix in thoroughly.
Top with your chosen toppings and enjoy your protein boost.
Simples.
Tip: Make up a full pot of yoghurt/protein in one go, so you can just dollop out a pre-made portion every morning. Every extra minute in bed helps!
Tip 2: After your've mixed your yoghurt and powder for a minute or two, if your protein powder doesn't seem to have fully dissolved, add the chia seeds into the mix now. The textured seeds will help to ensure everything blends together well.
Bon appetit!
