This Chia Greek Yogurt Protein Bowl is a simple, delicious breakfast that is customizable, blood sugar balancing, and great for meal prep. It has 28 grams of protein, with a 10 gram protein add on option!
I’m not a huge yogurt bowl type of person, but I’ve been trying to be more open to them because they’re filling and I want a variety of breakfast options to rotate through! I surprisingly have quite a few yogurt bowl recipes on my site, like this Chocolate Hazelnut High Protein Yogurt Bowl!
I’ve been loving this Greek yogurt bowl lately and I think I like it so much because it’s not as thick as a typical yogurt bowl. You can also customize it in so many ways to make it work for you and your taste buds!
Add in my favorite collagen and it’ll bring it to 38 grams of protein! I hope you enjoy it!
Recipe Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this Greek Yogurt Bowl:
Ingredient Notes
- Greek Yogurt: I used non-fat plain Greek yogurt for this recipe, but you can use any percentage fat yogurt you prefer. You can also use regular plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- Milk: I used homemade cashew milk (raw cashews, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, water), but you can use any milk you’d like.
- Protein Powder: I really like using a clean, plant-based French Vanilla protein powder for this recipe because it has a great flavor and helps sweeten the yogurt bowl naturally. Grab 15% off your order! If you don’t want to use protein powder, you can simply omit it, in which case, you may want to add a little 100% pure maple syrup or honey to sweeten the yogurt bowl a bit.
Additions
- Collagen-9: I like adding collagen-9 to mine as an optional add-on now that I’ve started to incorporate meat into my diet. If you add collagen, it won’t be vegetarian anymore, but if your diet allows for this, I highly recommend collagen-9 as it is a complete protein, has added biotin and Vitamin C, and adds 10 extra grams of protein to the dish. Grab 15% off your order and all future orders when you shop with me!
- Honey or Maple Syrup: You may want the recipe a little sweeter than I have it. The specific protein powder that I use for this recipe is on the sweeter side, so I didn’t feel a need to add anything else. Depending on the protein powder you use, you may want to add some honey or maple syrup!
Substitutions
- Yogurt: You can use a dairy-free yogurt if needed.
- Chia Seeds: You can replace the chia seeds with basil seeds or flaxseed meal

For the full recipe with the exact ingredients, scroll down to the printable recipe card below!
Step 1: In a serving bowl, mix Greek yogurt with protein powder (and collagen, if using).
Step 2: Add milk to the yogurt to thin it out. Use more or less than what the recipe calls for to make it your desired consistency. I used homemade cashew milk!
Step 3: Add chia seeds and mix well.
Step 4: Top with any desired toppings! I like topping mine with fresh berries, chopped walnuts, and a drizzle of almond butter.
What to Top the Yogurt Bowl With
- Fresh berries
- Chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds, or pumpkin seeds
- Drizzle with almond butter
- Honey
- Granola
Meal Prep & Storage
- Meal Prep: You can double/triple the recipe to meal prep this yogurt bowl in advance so you have breakfast ready to go for your week. Add the berries only when you’re ready to eat it though, to keep them fresh. You also may want to add some more milk to thin it out again when you’re ready to eat it.
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4 days. Remember to not add toppings until you’re ready to eat the yogurt bowl, in order to keep it the freshest.
