Simple Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl (Protein-Packed & Brain-Boosting)

When it comes to healthy breakfasts, simple is often best. This Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl is one of my favorite ways to start the day—it’s quick to make, nutrient-dense, and keeps me energized all morning long.

Unlike many store-bought breakfast options that are loaded with sugar, this bowl balances protein, healthy fats, and fiber. That balance is key for steady energy, blood sugar support, and improved focus throughout the day.

Why this bowl is nourishing:

  • Greek Yogurt → High in protein to keep you full, plus probiotics to support gut health.

  • Chia Seeds → A great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids that benefit brain health.

  • Cinnamon → Helps regulate blood sugar and adds natural sweetness.

  • Natural Sweetener → I love homemade fig jam for antioxidants and fiber, but maple syrup or honey works too.

  • Granola + Fruit → Provides crunch, extra fiber, and slow-digesting carbs for lasting energy.
