I don’t know about what goes on in your house, but mornings around here are a wholeeee thing! And if you know me, you know that mornings are not exactly my favorite because while I might be a night owl, I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON AT ALL! Haha. They’re usually a blur of packing lunches quickly, looking for missing shoes (seriously, how do we lose one shoe every single morning?), and negotiating with a toddler who suddenly decides socks are the enemy. It’s chaos… and honestly, most days the struggle is real. Lately though, having all the ingredients to make a quick yogurt and granola breakfast —with a scoop of high protein granola to keep me full—has made my mornings just a little bit easier and 100% something I look forward to!!

I literally dream about this breakfast at night (not kidding!). It’s easy, it’s packed with protein, and it’s something I can throw together in under two minutes, even when the morning madness is in full swing. I can’t gate keep it from you any longer!

The Breakfast That Changed My Mornings

I’m all about easy when it comes to any recipe I’m making, and this high-protein yogurt & granola breakfast could not be simpler. It takes under two minutes to throw together, tastes incredible, and actually keeps me full for hours and satiated until it’s time to eat lunch!

That’s it. No blender, no stove, no prep work. Just a creamy, crunchy, sweet-but-not-too-sweet breakfast that tastes like dessert but secretly packs about 45 grams of protein, which is a total win in my book!

A Quick Note About Macros

If you’d like the breakdown, here’s the math:

• The yogurt brings 20 grams of protein
• The high protein granola adds 13 grams
• The pumpkin seed butter adds another 9 grams
• And the blueberries and honey add just a little extra boost

All together, it’s about 45 grams of protein in a bowl that takes less time to make than it does to find my toddler daughter’s missing headband. Truth!

And because I get asked this sometimes—you should know that I personally only count protein in my head and I don’t track any other macros like calories, carbs, or fats because honestly, getting too deep into those numbers is just not good for my mental health. Protein is the one thing I try to be mindful about, and this yogurt & granola breakfast makes it super easy to hit my goals without overthinking anything. Also, something to note is that I never measure anything out for this particular recipe. Rather, I eyeball it and call it a day!

Switch It Up: Butter, Fruit, and other High Protein Granola Options You’ll Love

One of the reasons I never get bored of this breakfast is because it’s so easy to switch up depending on what you’re craving or what’s actually in your fridge that day.

For the nut or seed butter, pumpkin seed butter has totally stolen my heart lately. It’s rich, creamy, and has this earthy, slightly nutty flavor that I’ve learned to LOVE. Plus, it’s packed with not only protein but healthy fats and nutrients too, which feels like a nice bonus first thing in the morning. If pumpkin seed butter isn’t your thing, you can totally swap it for peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter (I’m talking the unsweetened kind!!) or even sunflower seed butter if you need a nut-free option.

Same thing with the fruit—giant blueberries are my usual go-to because they’re easy and add the perfect little pop of sweetness, but strawberries, raspberries, bananas or even a combo of these fruits are always a good idea too! Honestly, you can just grab whatever fruit is about to go bad on your counter or in your fridge (because #momlife, am I right?!) and toss it in.

And while I’m obsessed with the Nature Valley Oats & Honey High Protein Granola, there are so many other high protein granola brands out there that would work here too! Chocolate, cinnamon, nutty blends—you name it. As long as you stick to a high protein granola, you’re getting all that delicious crunch plus the extra protein boost that makes this breakfast a total powerhouse.

I love how flexible this yogurt & granola bowl is. It always feels a little different depending on what I use, but it’s always quick, easy, and seriously delicious.

This Yogurt & Granola Combo Is Honestly the Best Part of My Morning

I wish I was joking, but I’m not. I literally dream about this breakfast. It’s the first thing I think about when I open my eyes, and if something throws my morning off and I don’t get to eat it, I’m genuinely sad. LOL. Did I get my point across yet?? I AM OBSESSED!!!!

Finding a breakfast that’s fast, high-protein, and actually delicious can feel impossible when you’re in the thick of mom life. But this little bowl of yogurt & granola, fruit, and seed butter has seriously made my mornings better.

It’s two minutes. It’s 45 grams of protein. And it’s one small thing I can count on to fill my bucket (and my stomach) before the day gets going!
