5 Minute Protein Yogurt Bowl with Pistachios 

All you need is 10 minutes to make these protein rich yogurt bowls flavoured like a pistachio cheesecake! Starting with a zero effort base using GluteNulls wholesome Quinoa Cookies made from good-for-you ingredients like organic quinoa, coconut oil, coconut, walnuts, and agave. Then layered with a thick and creamy pistachio protein yogurt, and topped with crunchy pistachios, this high protein breakfast or dessert is out of this world!

I started making these protein yogurt bowls a year or two back, and I never get sick of them. They're creamy, high in protein, rich with probiotics, totally customizable, and take 5-10 minutes to make. They're also great for meal prep as a quick breakfast, or as a protein rich dessert with benefits!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

If you love pistachios then you're going to LOVE this protein yogurt flavoured like a 5 minute pistachio cheesecake.

It's super quick to make.

It's balanced with healthy fats, protein, and complex carbs from the healthy quinoa cookies!

It's really satisfying to eat. It's flavourful, feels decadent, but will give you a boost of energy and keep you full till your next meal.

Substitutions

You may not be able to get these quinoa cookies where you are, so I recommend finding another healthier cookie alternative for this. Something like a vegan shortbread or graham cracker would also work as a great crust option.

Recipe Notes

These protein cheesecakes are meant to be a meal. They're really filling with all 34g of protein per serving, and serve as a great sweet breakfast! If you prefer to enjoy this as a dessert, and maybe want less calorie per serving, then simply divide the protein cheesecake portion across 4 bowls instead!

Recipe makes 3 servings

Macros per serving:

469 cals - 21g fat - 36g carbs - 34g protein

 

Ingredients:

• 6 GluteNull Quinoa Cookies 
• 2 tbsp pistachio butter
• 1/4 cup almond milk 
• 500g vegan greek yogurt
• 2 scoops vanilla protein (80g) (discount code: EVANNRYAN)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp salt 
• 3 tbsp pistachios

Instructions:

1. Add 6 quinoa cookies to a cutting board, and chop into chunks. You can dice it so it's a cookie dust, or keep it chunky! Then add the cookie crumbs to the bottom of 3 meal prep bowls or containers. Set aside.

2. To a blender add: almond milk, and pistachio butter. Blend until smooth and pourable.  Set aside.

3. To a medium size mixing bowl add: greek yogurt, vanilla protein, lemon juice, salt, and almond milk/pistachio mix. Gently mix everything together well. You'll need to start slow so the protein powder doesn't dust everywhere! Slowly incorporate the dry into the wet, then once all the protein powder is wet, you can whip until everything is nice and smooth. If the mixture is too thick add more almond milk, 1-2 tbsp at a time.

4. Spoon the cheesecake mixture across the three meal prep bowls, on top of the cookie crumbs.

5. Smooth the top of the cheesecakes as best you can, using the back of a spoon.

6. Top each cheesecake with 1 tbsp chopped pistachios.

7. Seal the meal prep containers and keep in the fridge until you're ready to eat.

8. Enjoy!
