Ingredients measured out to make PB&J Protein Yogurt Bowl: cottage cheese, PB2, frozen berries, Siggi's strawberry yogurt, Catalina Crunch Cereal.

Ingredients Needed

You only need five simple ingredients to make this delicious yogurt bowl. Here’s what you need:

yogurt – provides a creamy base and adds a tangy flavor, along with a good dose of protein. I prefer siggi’s strawberry or mixed berry or just plain Greek yogurt.
PB2 – a powdered peanut butter alternative that offers the rich taste of peanut butter with fewer calories and fat. Feel free to use almond powder (not almond flour!) or cashew powder instead if you have a peanut allergy.
cottage cheese – adds creaminess and a protein boost, making the bowl more filling and satisfying.
frozen berries – bring sweetness and a jelly-like quality to the bowl, along with antioxidants and vitamins.
Catalina Crunch cereal – introduces a nice crunch, adding texture and fiber to your yogurt bowl. I love Catalina Crunch cereal because it has 0g of sugar and 11 grams of protein per serving, but feel free to use your favorite cereal as a substitute or try this homemade granola for that healthy crunch!

How to Make This Protein Yogurt Bowl

Step 1: In a small mixing bowl, blend your choice of yogurt with PB2 until smooth.

Protein Yogurt Bowl Variations

I love this recipe as is, but feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite yogurt, fruit and toppings. Here are some ideas:

Tropical: Use plain yogurt or Siggi’s coconut flavored yogur, swap the berries for frozen mango or pineapple and add a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top for extra crunch.
Chocolate peanut butter: Mix cocoa powder into the yogurt along with the PB2 for a chocolatey version. Or substitute one tablespoon of the PB2 with one tablespoon of chocolate protein powder.

How to Meal Prep

This recipe makes one PB&J yogurt bowl so it’s designed to be assembled and enjoyed immediately, however, you can totally meal prep this bowl in advance. To do this, I would combine all your ingredients (except for the cereal) and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. When ready to eat, top it with cereal and enjoy!
