Benefits of the Main Ingredients

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is an excellent source of high-quality protein, making it ideal for supporting muscle maintenance and keeping you feeling full for longer. It also provides calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and beneficial live cultures that support gut health.

Gluten-Free Vanilla Protein Powder

A quality gluten-free protein powder boosts the protein content while adding a delicious vanilla flavour. It helps support muscle recovery and makes this bowl an excellent option after exercise or as a filling breakfast.

Vanilla Extract

Vanilla enhances the natural sweetness of the fruit while adding warmth and depth of flavour without the need for extra sugar.

Maple Syrup

A small drizzle of maple syrup adds natural sweetness along with trace amounts of antioxidants and minerals, perfectly balancing the tanginess of the yogurt.

Blueberries

Blueberries are naturally rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, fibre, and anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that give them their vibrant blue colour. They add freshness and a burst of natural sweetness.

Banana

Bananas provide potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and dietary fibre while naturally sweetening the bowl and creating a delicious creamy texture.

Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds are rich in plant-based protein, healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fats, magnesium, iron, and zinc. They add a mild nutty flavour and a nutritional boost without overpowering the other ingredients.

Hemp seeds can be sprinkled on top or omitted depending on texture preferences. As with all recipes, the flavours and textures can be personalised to meet individual needs.
