This high protein yogurt bowl is one of my go to breakfasts when I want something quick, nourishing, and truly satisfying. With 24 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, it keeps me full for hours without feeling heavy or complicated.
Greek yogurt is a staple in my kitchen because it is naturally high in protein, fat free, and incredibly versatile, especially on busy mornings.
If you love Greek yogurt as much as I do, you have probably already tried it in my protein lemon bars or my family's favorite Kodiak pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
This breakfast bowl combines creamy non-fat Greek yogurt with heart healthy ground flaxseed and antioxidant rich blueberries. It fits beautifully into the Mediterranean Diet and is easy to prep ahead when mornings get busy. It is proof that a high protein yogurt bowl does not need complicated ingredients or extra steps to be delicious.
I hope it becomes a staple in your breakfast rotation too!

FAQs
YES! I do it all the time! Prepping breakfast the night before is one of my lifehacks that really helps me stay on track with following the Mediterranean Diet. Just make it the night before, put it in the refrigerator and enjoy when you're ready!
First, know this. You are adding a truly powerful little ingredient to your routine. Flaxseed may be tiny, but it is packed with goodness. It is rich in omega 3 fats, fiber, and antioxidants, all of which support heart health, healthy cholesterol levels, and digestion.
If you are new to flaxseed, the basics are easy.
Buy it ground. Whole flaxseed often passes through the body without being fully absorbed. Ground flaxseed, sometimes called flax meal, allows your body to actually use all those nutrients. You can buy it already ground or grind it yourself at home.
Store it properly. Once opened, flaxseed should be kept sealed in an airtight container or zip top bag in the refrigerator. This helps protect its healthy fats and keeps it fresh. When stored in the fridge, ground flaxseed can last up to three months.
That is it. Simple steps, big benefits, and an easy way to add more fiber and heart healthy fats to your day.
Variations
The sky is the limit! Here are some tasty options:
- Need even MORE protein? Add a scoop of your favorite powder to the yogurt.
- Cherries, strawberries, and blackberries are all great alternatives to the blueberries.
- A sprinkle of cinnamon and half a banana are delicious too.
- Sprinkle a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans on top.
Storage
You'll want to eat this as quickly as you can, although you can make it the night before if you prefer. Follow the instructions and either put it in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap.
