We all know the importance of a healthy breakfast, but it can be hard to get in all of the nutrients you need when the more carb-heavy choices like toast and bagels are just so much more convenient – and usually taste better. But we found the perfect way to eat a high-protein meal every morning without too much effort. Plus, it tastes great.
Get ready to meet the smoothie bowl: your new go-to breakfast. It’s like a smoothie, but it tastes better.
Smoothies have become very popular in recent years because peoplea re realizing that they are healthy ways to get a ton of vitamins and minerals into your diet with very little fat or carbs. Many healthy meals run the risk of added sugars or fats when you cook them because we tend to add oil and seasonings, but smoothies don't need those additives.
But the downside to smoothies is that many of us don't like to drink our food. A smoothie can become very thick and unenjoyable - especially when you try to drink one every day.
This is where the smoothie bowl comes in. It has basically all of the same ingredients as a smoothie, but instead of blending your fruits and veggies into a puree, you chop them up and layer them over yogurt in a bowl.
It's more enjoyable to eat, yet just as healthy. And there's one high-protein recipe we've been making that is perfect for boosting muscle strength, supporting weight loss and feeling more energized.
Why You Should Have A High-Protein Berry Smoothie Bowl For Breakfast
Berries themselves aren't remarkably high in protein, but they do contain a ton of antioxidants and vitamins that have been known to support weight loss. Depending on which berries you use, your smoothie can contain vitamin C, vitamin B, manganese, folate, fiber and ptassium.
The berries are also great for making your smoothie bowl as flavorful as possible. But it is the other ingredients that deliver the real benefits.
Our favorite high-protein smoothie bowl is made with Greek yogurt, chia seeds and pumpkin seeds, all of which are extremely high sources of natural protein. This means that you don't have to add any protein powder to your smoothie bowl, yet you'll still get plenty of benefits.
