Ingredients
  

  • Greek yogurt, plain, 2% or 0% (about 1 cup/240 g)
  • Whey or plant-based vanilla protein powder (1 scoop)
  • Lemon (you’ll use zest and juice; organic if possible)
  • Blueberries, fresh or frozen (about 1/2–3/4 cup)
  • Honey or maple syrup (1–2 teaspoons, optional)
  • Vanilla extract (1/4 teaspoon, optional)
  • Chia seeds or ground flax (1 tablespoon)
  • Almonds, walnuts, or pistachios, chopped (2 tablespoons)
  • Lemon zest (from 1/2 lemon)
  • Pinch of salt (helps balance sweetness)
  • Optional add-ins: granola, coconut flakes, hemp hearts, lemon curd, or a few white chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Prep the lemon. Wash and dry the lemon. Zest half of it with a fine grater, avoiding the bitter white pith. Squeeze 1–2 teaspoons of juice.
  2. Mix the base. In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with the protein powder until smooth. Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt. Taste and adjust.
  3. Sweeten lightly. Drizzle in honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter. Start small; the blueberries and vanilla may be enough.
  4. Add texture. Stir in chia seeds or ground flax. They thicken the bowl slightly and add fiber.
  5. Top with blueberries. Use fresh for a juicy bite, or thaw frozen berries briefly for a compote-like vibe. If using frozen, blot excess liquid.
  6. Finish with crunch. Sprinkle chopped nuts and a little lemon zest on top. Add any optional toppings like granola or coconut flakes.
  7. Serve right away. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and brightness.
