High Protein Cocoa Banana Skyr Bowl
Sometimes you just need something sweet that also hits your protein goals. This skyr bowl is my go-to when I want a dessert that feels indulgent but keeps me on track. It's so quick to throw together after dinner, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain skyr (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- 1-2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder (optional)
- Sweetener to taste (maple syrup, stevia)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: a few chocolate chips, nuts
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine skyr, cocoa powder, protein powder (if using), sweetener, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Slice half of the banana into small pieces and fold them into the skyr mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to your serving bowl. Arrange the remaining banana slices on top.
- Add any desired toppings like a sprinkle of chocolate chips or chopped nuts, then serve immediately.
Tips
- For an even colder treat, freeze your banana slices for 15-20 minutes before mixing.
- Adjust the cocoa powder to your preference; start with one tablespoon for a milder chocolate flavor.
FAQ
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of skyr?
Yes, plain Greek yogurt works great, though skyr is typically thicker and higher in protein.
How can I make this even richer?
A tiny bit of peanut butter blended in, or a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings on top, adds richness.
