HIGH PROTEIN BREAKFAST

Are you wondering if Greek yogurt is as healthy as everyone says? Greek yogurt has almost twice the protein as regular yogurt and about as much protein as three eggs. So, if you’re tired of eating eggs to meet your protein goals, Greek yogurt bowl with warm berry sauce is a great alternative. 

A ¾ cup serving of plain non-fat yogurt has about 90 calories, 16 grams of protein, 6 grams of carbohydrates, and zero fat. While Greek yogurt still contains some carbs, it can still be enjoyed on most low-carb and keto diets.

A 1 cup serving of frozen mixed berries containing blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries is about 70 calories containing around 15 grams of carbs. About 10 of those sugars come from naturally occurring sugars, and 3grams coming from fiber. If you’re interested in learning more about low sugar fruits for low carb diets, this is a good article. 

FOR A LOWER-CARB YOGURT BOWL

This recipe comes about to 21 grams of carbs. If you need a lower-carb yogurt bowl reduce the berries to ½ cup and cook for one minute-one and a half minutes.

HOW TO MAKE BERRY SAUCE

Frozen berries are placed in a microwave-safe bowl and cooked on high until hot and slightly thickened, about 1:30 minutes. The berries will burst and release their juices and create a sweet berry sauce.

Fast.

Simple.

No added sugars are needed. 

EASY HEALTHY BREAKFAST FOR PICKY EATERS

I sometimes struggle getting my picky eater to eat a healthy breakfast. Especially on school mornings when we’re rushed to get out the door. I can always count on this yogurt with a warm berry sauce recipe when all else fails. 

My kids can’t get on board with greek yogurt, so I do switch to plain full-fat yogurt. For a particularly picky eater, you could try a lower sugar vanilla yogurt or add a bit of honey to your plain yogurt.

HOW TO MEAL PREP YOGURT AND BERRY SAUCE

Store-bought yogurt and fruits are loaded with sugar and may not be the healthiest choice for your nutritional needs. Meal prepping your fruit on the bottom yogurt cups is quick and easy. Adjust the amount of berry sauce to lower the sugars and carbs to meet your macro needs.

To assemble meal prep yogurt cups, add cooled berry sauce to the bottom of your meal prep containers. Add playing non-fat Greek yogurt on top, and refrigerate for up to 4 days. 

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GREEK YOGURT AND REGULAR YOGURT?

Greek yogurt and regular yogurt are made from the same ingredients, but differ in how they are made. Greek yogurt is thicker due to the extra straining it gets. The straining removes excess whey (liquid) giving it a thicker consistency. This process leaves Greek yogurt denser allowing for more protein and fewer sugars per serving.

Regular yogurt tends to have fewer calories, more sugars, and more calcium. Whether you’re eating Greek or regular yogurt, they both are packed with probiotics that support digestion, weight loss, and heart health.
