A simple, satisfying, protein-packed and filling breakfast option whose flavor profile mimics that of a childhood favorite: the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Plain yogurt, mixed with peanut butter and mixed berry jelly, topped with roasted peanuts, fresh fruit, chia seeds and hemp seeds. A scoop of your favorite protein powder in the mix can pack an additional protein punch to kick off your morning or as a snack during the day!

Instructions:

1. Measure out 1 cup of plain yogurt and (if using) stir in a scoop of protein powder until fully combined.
2. Mix in 1 heaping tablespoon of peanut butter or nut butter of choice (*if peanut butter or nut butter is very thick, melt first before stirring in). The nut butter I used was very runny, so I didn’t need to melt it first.
3. Top mixture with a handful of peanuts, a spoonful of jelly of choice, and fresh berries of choice. Sprinkle with hemp and chia seeds of choice.
4. Enjoy! 🙂

*If you can’t eat the whole bowl, save for a snack later or breakfast the next day with fresh toppings! 🙂 It is very filling with the protein powder added.
