Loaded Yogurt
* This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. *
I’ve discovered a new favorite breakfast — a little something I like to call “loaded yogurt.” It’s simple, really, but it tastes really great and is fairly low in calories, but high in fiber and protein.
1 c. vanilla yogurt
2 T. granola
1/2 c. fruit (I typically use blueberries)
1 T. chopped walnuts
I also add a serving of powdered fiber because I’m trying to get more fiber in my diet. I like to add it to my yogurt because it doesn’t get thick like it does when you add the powder to drinks. This quick and easy breakfast is 254 calories, 6 grams of fat and 12 grams of protein.
Plus it just SOUNDS "sinful" when you call it loaded. 😉
Sometimes, for me, it's all about how something sounds.
What kind of granola? I have a recipe for homemade crockpot granola that I love to add to yogurt, but I'm sure it is high in calories…at least when I'm pouring all the honey in the crockpot, it sure seems like it would be!
I do this, too! I mix it up, and sometimes just throw in a handful of Kashi (the Go Lean Crunch kind)and call it good 🙂
Sounds delicious! I was just thinking of spooning some of my favorite granola onto my yogurt. I've never done that before. It would be a great way to get my fave cereal w/o a whole bowl. It's pretty high-cal. The walnuts are a great idea too!
Have you tried adding flax seed? Extra fiber. 🙂
