Peanut Butter & Jam Protein Bowl

This recipe has an uncommon ingredient: powdered peanut butter, which is peanuts that have been pressed to remove much of the oil and fat; It can be found at most grocery stores. Relevant nutrition differences:

  • Natural Jif Peanut Butter Spread: 190 calories, 16g of fat in 2 tablespoons
  • PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter: 45 calories, 1.5g of fat in 2 tablespoons

Here’s some more information if you’d like to read more about it, just know that for the following recipe you don’t have to use powdered peanut butter but the nutritional information listed at the bottom of this post relates to using it.

Main Ingredients:

  • Mixed berries
  • Greek Yogurt
  • Granola
  • Chia Seeds
  • Cottage Cheese (option to sub this out, see below notes)
  • Peanut butter – powdered, or regular (see notes below)

Notes about the ingredients above:

  • Mixed berries = any combination of blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries. Can be fresh or frozen (I typically buy frozen and warm up in microwave).
  • You can use any flavour and variety of greek yogurt that you like, but for taste reasons plain, vanilla (the best in my opinion) and berry flavours work best. Also, look for 0% M.F. versions to reduce the overall calories. I also prefer skyr greek yogurt since it has the highest protein content out of all greek yogurts, but it’s also not readily available in all grocery stores.
  • If you are someone who doesn’t like cottage cheese, you can replace it with the serving size equivalent of greek yogurt.
  • Powdered peanut butter is a good low calorie alternative for peanut butter lovers that I suggest (see instructions).

Recipe Notes:

  • Feel free to customize this recipe as needed, I intentionally added more ingredients than most would put in this recipe. That being said all ingredients listed have their own respective benefit.
  • Pay particular attention to the serving size of granola, the difference between 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup isn’t visually easy to identify but make a big difference in calories.
