and would leave me famished an hour later.
Its best to aim for20-30 grams of protein per meal.
And that number is easy to hit if you choose the right yogurt.
Greek yogurt naturally has more protein than regular yogurt because of the straining method used.
(Many Greek yogurts provide 16 to 17 grams per 34 cup serving of yogurt!)
My go-to brands are Siggis, Fage, and Stonyfield Farms.
If youre dairy-free, here are someplant-based yogurts to look out for.
Plain Greek yogurt has no added sugar.
Prioritize fiber
Fiberis often the forgotten nutrient in yogurt bowls.
And missing out on it is what likelyleft me with an empty stomachlong before lunch.
This ingredient was the hardest one to scale to a meaningful amount.
For each half-cup serving, oats only offerfour grams of fiber1.
Reaching that amount of oats through store-bought granola also comes with heaps of sugar.
Andalthough it’s easyI rarely take the time to prep homemade granola.
So I recently turned to a fiber supplement (for the first time).
Theseprebiotic fibers2feed your gut microbes, and studies support the role of guar bean fiber insatiety3andblood sugar control4.
And itisactually flavorlessfitting into any flavor that a yogurt bowl takes on.
Whileorganic fiber+ with prebiotic supportcompletely disperses in a liquid, it also seamlessly mixes with yogurt.
And sometimes, Ill even sprinkle the scoop of powder on top for some textural variety.
