Ok — if you need a JOLT of energy in the morning and a high protein breakfast, then I got you with this dynamic combination of grass-fed protein powder and Greek yogurt! And using mocha-latte flavored whey protein will rival the taste of your favorite, sugar-loaded coffee drink but instead leave you feeling energized to conquer the day.
This combo forms a nutrient-dense and high protein breakfast that not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps you energized and satiated for hours.
Grass-Fed Advantage
The main reason I enjoy and prefer Transparent Labs whey protein powder is because it’s high quality grass-fed protein. Grass-fed protein powder sourced from pasture-raised cows provides a superior protein option. It is rich in essential amino acids so it ensures your body receives a complete protein profile, organic compounds essential for bodily functions. When mixed with Greek yogurt, which is already high in protein, this breakfast supports muscle repair, sustains energy levels, and promotes overall well-being for hardcore fitness enthusiasts or those juggling hectic schedules. Regardless of gender – men and women can benefit!
Sustained Energy Release
Mixing protein powder with Greek yogurt that has a healthy amount of slower-digesting protein, there is a gradual digestion of proteins and a steady release of energy throughout the morning. This sustained energy release helps curb mid-morning hunger pangs, making it easier to resist unhealthy snacking and maintain focus and productivity.
Weight Management & Satiety Management
By mixing grass-fed protein powder with Greek yogurt, you have a satisfying breakfast that helps keep you full and satiated, reducing the chances of overeating during later meals. Additionally, the protein helps preserve lean muscle mass which supports a healthy metabolism.
Digestive Health Support
Greek yogurt is loaded with probiotics to promote a healthy gut microbiome, aid digestion and enhance nutrient absorption. Pairing it with grass-fed protein powder not only boosts your protein intake so you can reach daily protein goals a bit easier; but also provides essential amino acids to further bolster digestive health.
Quick & Convenient
For those leading busy lives, this breakfast option is a lifesaver! Preparing a delicious high protein blend with grass-fed protein powder and Greek yogurt takes only minutes, making it an ideal choice for rushed mornings. While you can also customize this blend by adding fruits, nuts, or seeds for added nutrients and flavor; but, this tiramisu protein parfait uses low-calorie oat biscuits/crackers instead to get as close to the tiramisu flavor as possible.
So whether it’s this recipe or other protein powder recipes, combining grass-fed protein powder with Greek yogurt, you create a high protein breakfast meal with a complete protein profile that sustains energy release, helps with weight and satiety management, and supports digestive health. Plus, it takes less than 10 minutes to make so what’s not to love?
High Protein Breakfast – Tiramisu Protein Parfait
Ingredients
- Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate, Mocha flavor
- 7oz 2% Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or water)
- 1/3 cup coffee (for dipping)
- 4 low-sugar biscuits or crackers
- 1 heaping tablespoon cacao powder, for dusting garnish
Steps
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, whip together whey protein powder, yogurt and almond milk (or water) until smooth.
Step 2
Add coffee to a small bowl and dip 3 of the crackers or biscuits in the coffee for about 10 – 15 seconds, only enough time to flavor them, NOT make the soggy or overly soft.
Step 3
Build the parfait in a jar or bowl. Add 2 biscuits to the bottom, then top with half of the protein yogurt, then add 1 more biscuit, and top with remaining yogurt mix.
Step 4
Crush the final biscuit and sprinkle on top, along with cacao powder. Enjoy immediately!
Note: this can also be made ahead of time for meal prep. Just keep in mind that the biscuits will be very soft by the time you enjoy it, if that is important to you.
