1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (75 g)

Notes
Best yogurt: Use thick plain Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and highest protein.
Frozen berry tip: Frozen blueberries create a juicy, sauce-like swirl as they thaw.
Meal prep: Prep yogurt and berries ahead, but keep granola separate until serving so it stays crunchy.
Protein boost: Stir in 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 25 g) if desired; add 1 to 2 tsp milk if it thickens too much.
Nut-free: Swap nut butter for sunflower seed butter.

Key Ingredients & Notes
Greek Yogurt
Use plain Greek yogurt with at least 2 percent fat for the best balance of creaminess and protein. Full-fat works beautifully for extra richness. Greek yogurt is strained, which makes it thicker and higher in protein than regular yogurt. Healthline explains why Greek yogurt is such a strong protein source for balanced meals.
Blueberries
Fresh or frozen both work. Frozen blueberries slightly thawed create a juicy swirl that naturally sweetens the yogurt. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and fiber, making them ideal for daily breakfasts.
Nut Butter
Almond butter or peanut butter adds healthy fats and flavor. Choose unsweetened varieties for the cleanest ingredient list. For nut-free households, sunflower seed butter works perfectly.
Seeds
Chia seeds or ground flaxseed boost fiber and omega-3 fats. They also help thicken the bowl and improve satiety.
Optional Sweetener
Honey or maple syrup is optional. Start with no sweetener and adjust after tasting, especially if your blueberries are ripe.
Crunchy Toppings
Granola, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes add texture. Keep portions modest to maintain balance.
