Protein-Packed Greek Yogurt Powerhouse with Almond Granola
High-protein Greek yogurt parfait with 38g protein per serving. Easy breakfast with homemade granola, berries & collagen.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt (0% fat)
- 1 scoop vanilla collagen peptides powder
- 1/4 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp raw walnuts, chopped
- 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tbsp natural almond butter
- 1 tbsp raw sunflower seeds
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- 1
Combine the chopped almonds, rolled oats, walnuts, coconut flakes, and sunflower seeds in a small bowl.
- 2
Drizzle the honey and vanilla extract over the nut mixture, then sprinkle with cinnamon, ground ginger, and sea salt.
- 3
Toss everything together with a fork until the honey coats all the granola pieces evenly, about 1 minute.
- 4
Spread the granola mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- 5
Toast in a 325°F oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges turn light golden brown and fragrant.
- 6
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet for 5 minutes (it will crisp up as it cools).
- 7
While the granola cools, whisk together the Greek yogurt and collagen peptides in a medium bowl until smooth and fully combined.
- 8
Divide the protein-boosted yogurt evenly among 4 serving bowls or glasses, using about 1/2 cup per bowl.
- 9
Layer half of the blueberries and raspberries over the yogurt in each bowl.
- 10
Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of almond butter over the berries in each bowl.
- 11
Top each parfait with 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled granola, reserving any extra for storage.
- 12
Serve immediately for maximum granola crunch, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours if meal prepping.
- 13
Store leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Variations & Substitutions
| Ingredient | Substitute | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Plain nonfat Greek yogurt | Icelandic-style skyr or Fage Total 0% | These alternatives pack even more protein density (up to 20g per cup) and have a thicker, creamier texture without added gums or stabilizers. |
| Vanilla collagen peptides | Unflavored collagen or 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese blended into yogurt | If you don't have collagen on hand, cottage cheese adds 7-8g additional protein per serving and creates an ultra-creamy base without changing the taste profile. |
| Homemade almond granola | Store-bought high-protein granola (like Bulletproof or Simple Mills) or 1/4 cup raw almonds + 2 tbsp hemp seeds | Saves 12 minutes of prep and baking time while still delivering crunch and protein; hemp seeds add 3g protein per serving. |
| Fresh blueberries and raspberries | Frozen mixed berries (thawed) or 1/2 cup sliced strawberries + 1/4 cup pomegranate arils | Frozen berries are cheaper, available year-round, and just as nutrient-dense; pomegranate adds antioxidants and visual appeal. |
| Natural almond butter | Greek yogurt mixed with 1 tbsp natural peanut butter or 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter (PB2) | Peanut butter adds 4g protein per tablespoon; PB2 delivers the same flavor with half the calories and fat. |
| Honey as sweetener | 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or 1/2 tsp stevia mixed into the yogurt | Maple syrup adds minerals and a deeper flavor; stevia keeps calories lower if tracking macros tightly. |
