Greek Yogurt with Berry Chia Jam
Greek yogurt is my protein MVP. It’s a quick and easy protein that can be enjoyed in numerous ways. Combine it with berry chia jam and peanut butter for a simple and dreamy greek yogurt bowl. Make it ahead of time for quick and healthy meal prep breakfast. It’s creamy, fruit, and so satisfying. Plus, you get 25 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per serving to keep you full all morning long.
