2. Cupcake Greek Yogurt Protein Bowl

Easy to customize based on your personal preferences, greek yogurt is a simple and instant high protein breakfast that will help keep you on track with your weight loss journey.

Greek yogurt is packed with nutrients and probiotics - a gut friendly healthy bacteria, which help boost your immune system and keep you healthy.

It’s also a great source of protein and is high in calcium. Calcium is an important nutrient for maintaining bone health. 

A serving of Greek yogurt contains 18 percent of your value for calcium.

It also contains 20 percent of your daily value of vitamin B-12, an important vitamin that gets harder to absorb with age, or after weight loss surgery.

When shopping for Greek yogurt remember to look at the nutrition label and choose options that are low in sugar.

Make your breakfast into the perfect parfait by topping it with your favorite fruit, cinnamon, nuts and superfoods like protein powder and chia seeds.
