Introduction: Why Protein Matters for Breakfast
Many people start their day with sugary cereals or plain toast, which leads to an energy crash by 10 AM. At Healthy Good Food, we recommend the Greek Yogurt Power Bowl. This isn’t just a quick meal; it’s a nutritional powerhouse designed to stabilize blood sugar, support muscle recovery, and keep you satiated for hours.
The Science Behind the Ingredients
- Non-Fat Greek Yogurt: Contains double the protein of regular yogurt. It provides essential probiotics for gut health, which is a cornerstone of overall wellness.
- Chia Seeds: These tiny seeds are a “superfood” rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. When they sit in the yogurt, they expand, helping you feel fuller for longer.
- Berries (Blueberries & Raspberries): These fruits have a low glycemic index and are packed with polyphenols, which help fight inflammation.
Detailed Preparation Steps
- The Base: Start with 200g of cold Greek yogurt. For an extra protein boost, you can stir in half a scoop of vanilla whey protein.
- The Crunch: Add a tablespoon of raw pumpkin seeds or walnuts to introduce healthy fats and texture.
- The Sweetness: Avoid refined sugar. Instead, use a teaspoon of organic honey or a few drops of stevia if needed.
- Assembly: Layer the berries on top and sprinkle the chia seeds last to maintain their crunch.
