The creaminess of the oatmeal and Greek yogurt is balanced by the crunchiness of the walnuts and sunflower seeds.

Why Is This Breakfast Bowl So Good?

It’s high in protein. In fact, one serving provides a whopping 34 grams of protein.

It’s also high in healthy carbs like fiber. A serving provides almost 70% of your daily fiber needs- that’s a whole lotta fiber!

It is also naturally gluten-free. Thus, it makes for a filling, nutritious, macro-rich breakfast!

Step 3. Transfer the porridge to a bowl.

Step 4. Top it all up with Greek yogurt, blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, walnuts, and sunflowers. To finish up, I’m going to drizzle a little bit of maple syrup over it.

Just replace the Greek yogurt with your favorite non-dairy yogurt. Some good options would be soy milk yogurt, almond milk yogurt, or coconut milk yogurt.

Also, make sure you use a vegan vanilla protein powder like this one here.

Note: Portion Size!

I tend to start my day strong, so 624 kcal for breakfast sounds about right to me as I eat around a total of 2,000 kcal a day. However, I know many of you tend to have a lighter breakfast.

This is called a power bowl for a reason. If you are that person, cut the portion in half or share it with your loved one!
