This apple protein breakfast bowl was my daily breakfast of choice for a long time, and I’m still in love with it. Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, this naturally gluten-free meal will keep you going for hours!
It’s super simple, but there’s just something perfect about it. The peanut butter cake base, the sweet, tangy apples, the creamy yogurt, and the crunchy nuts — the combination is so satisfying. And don’t even get me started on the nutrition! With a bit of variability depending on the exact ingredients you use, this contains around 300 calories, just 3 grams added sugar, 10 grams of healthy fats, 7 grams of fiber, and 23 grams of protein. It makes a great high-protein snack as well and is easy to customize so it doesn’t get boring!

Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp powdered peanut butter (PB Fit)* See Notes
- Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional but recommended)
- 1 apple (Pink Lady is my fave), chopped into small pieces
- 1 single-serve low sugar Greek yogurt (I love Too Good Vanilla Blended for this, but choose whichever kind you like)
- 1-2 Tbsp chopped nuts of choice (I like pecans)
Directions
- Mix the powdered peanut butter with 3 Tbsp water (and cinnamon if using) until it forms a smooth, thin batter. Microwave for about 1 minute or until set to your liking.
- Add chopped apple on top of cake base, then yogurt on top of the apple, and top with nuts.
- Feel free to add or substitute with any toppings/ingredients you prefer! Ideas include berries instead of apple, cacao nibs or chocolate chips instead of nuts, extra cinnamon on top, nut butter, etc. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you use a powdered peanut butter that has no added sugar, you may want to add some sweetener to taste. I also like adding a tablespoon of this flavored powdered peanut butter for extra fun and flavor. (Not a sponsored link, I just like the product with this recipe.)
