Line up twenty yogurts and you’ll see just how much protein density varies by style and brand. Greek yogurt and Icelandic skyr are strained, which means less lactose (the naturally occurring sugar in dairy) and more protein per half cup than unstrained yogurt. Go for these higher-protein options, and if they are too thick to your liking, stir in a few teaspoons of milk to thin them out. Did you need a recipe for a parfait? Probably not. Consider this a reminder worth calling out. Start with a high-protein yogurt, add protein granola and fruit, and you’ve got an easy breakfast the whole family will eat.
1 cup high protein, whole milk Greek yogurt (see headnote)
¼ cup groupers granola (p. 204)
Fruit of choice: berries, mango, apples, bananas, etc.

Place all ingredients in mason jars or bowls and enjoy.
If you want an additional protein boost you can mix protein powder into the yogurt. Just don’t tell Eric—he thinks that’s gross :)
Our favorite brand for Greek yogurt is Painterland Sisters for its high protein and wholesome ingredients.
