Ingredient Notes
Here are all the ingredients you'll need to make this healthy protein yogurt:
- 2% plain greek yogurt: The healthy fat keeps you full and makes the bowl super creamy while adding more protein. Use 0% Greek yogurt if you prefer.
- Vanilla protein powder: I like to use whey, but plant-based protein will work too. I like to use the premier protein vanilla milkshake whey protein powder.
- Almond butter & cinnamon: Adds to the pie flavor.
- Vanilla extract
- Fresh blueberries: Fresh, in-season berries are best, but frozen will work. They may die the yogurt purple.
- Graham cracker crumbs: You can crumble a whole graham cracker or use the pre-made crumbs. Use gluten-free if you're required to be GF.
- Granola: For extra crunch if you have some. I like to use a grain-free granola with nuts.
Optional Ingredients
Amp up the nutrition of this yogurt bowl with any of your favourite add ins! Try some of these for health benefits:

- Flax Seeds: 1-2 tablespoons

- Maple syrup: If you want your bowl a little sweeter, add 1 tablespoon maple syrup to the mix.
- More fruits like strawberries, banana, blackberries, etc.
Substitutions
There are many ways to change up this protein bowl depending on your mood. Here are some substitution suggestions:
- Use chocolate protein powder. For a chocolate berry flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder. Or simple a scoop of protein powder in chocolate flavor. Stir in some chocolate chips for a crunch.
- Dairy-free or vegan. Use a plant based protein powder and swap the greek yogurt for plant based yogurt.
