TIPS
These tips can help you make a better Berry Protein Power Bowl:
- Use Thick Yoghurt For Creaminess: A full-fat or strained Greek yoghurt provides a luxurious texture and higher protein content.
- Pat Berries Dry: Drying the berries prevents water from thinning the yoghurt.
- Customise With Layers: Create parfait layers with oats, nuts or granola for extra crunch.
- Adjust The Cinnamon To Taste: Start with a light touch, as cinnamon can overpower the subtle fruit flavour.
- Chill Ingredients: Use pre-chilled yoghurt and berries for maximum refreshment.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Version: Use coconut or almond-based yoghurt and skip honey.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of unflavoured or vanilla protein powder to the yoghurt.
- Add Crunch: Top with crushed nuts, pumpkin seeds or low-sugar granola.
- Fruit Swap: Replace mixed berries with sliced kiwi, mango or peaches, depending on the season.
- Dessert Twist: Add a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a more indulgent feel.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Best eaten fresh, but can be assembled and stored in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
- Meal Prep Tip: Pre-portion yoghurt into jars; add berries and seeds just before serving.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing alters the yoghurt texture and causes berries to weep on thawing.
- Make-Ahead Option: Store components separately and combine when ready to eat for the freshest taste.
- Portable Tip: Pack in a sealed jar or container with toppings layered on top for easy on-the-go snacking.
