How do you get creative with breakfast while making sure it’s high protein and low calorie?  Oh, and you’re tired of eggs?  Short on time too?  Not a problem!

All you need are three ingredients!  And a spoon of course 🙂

High Protein Yogurt!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup of light vanilla Greek yogurt (you can use plain for less calories, but its a little more tart)
• 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein isolate
• 1 Tbsp of PB2 (or you can use regular peanut butter for extra fat calories)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Scoop 1/2 cup yogurt into a bowl.
2. Sprinkle about 1/2 of your whey protein scoop into your yogurt.  Mix until smooth.  Add next 1/2 and mix until smooth.
3. Once smooth, mix PB2 in yogurt until smooth.

NUTRITION FACTS:

• Total Calories: 187.5
• Total Protein: 34.5 g
• Total Carbohydrates:  9 g
• Total Fat: 0.75 g

Now that is a lean breakfast!  It’s very light while you’re eating it, but after about 5 minutes, you feel FULL.  That is all 34.5 g of protein sticking to those ribs!

If you’re lifting, this is a great way to get extra protein in for muscle building without having to drink it all the time.  Anyone who uses protein supplements will tell you, I AM OVER DRINKING PROTEIN.  Also note- the photo includes steel cut oats sprinkled on top for a little crunch and extra carb.

You can also freeze this mixture to make a frozen yogurt!
