A light, refreshing, high-protein breakfast you can customize a dozen ways.
This bowl is one of my go-to morning meals because it’s fast, balanced, and keeps me full for hours — and the collagen gives it that extra boost of protein without changing the flavor.

Below is the recipe plus helpful swaps, variations, and little nutrition add-ins so your readers feel like they’re getting real value (and Pinterest loves that).

Why This Breakfast Works

High in protein to keep you full and support muscle tone
Naturally sweet without added sugar
Healthy fats + fiber help stabilize blood sugar
5 minutes (truly — no chopping beyond a mango or any fruit you choose to use)

The Recipe

Serves: 1
Calories: 325
Macros: 27g protein | 11g fat | 31g carbs (may vary slightly based on your inclusions)

Ingredients

3/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, 2% or 0%, whichever you prefer)
10g collagen powder
1/2 ripe mango, chopped (fresh, frozen or choose another fruit such as pineapple or kiwi)
1 tbsp sliced almonds
1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

Directions

Stir the collagen into the Greek yogurt until smooth.
Add the mango, almonds, and coconut.
Enjoy immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes if you want it extra thick.

Easy Customizations

Readers love options. You can include these swappable variations:

Swap the Fruit

Strawberries or raspberries (lower sugar)
Pineapple (tropical + digestive enzymes)
Blueberries (antioxidants)
Peaches (summer option)

Swap the Crunch

Walnuts, pecans, or pistachios
Hemp seeds (adds extra protein + healthy fats)
Granola (for readers who want more carbs)

Swap the Yogurt

0% Greek yogurt for lower calories
5% Greek yogurt for richer, more satisfying texture
Coconut yogurt for dairy-free (add extra protein with chia or hemp seeds)

Boost the Protein Even More

Add an additional tablespoon hemp seeds
Mix in vanilla protein powder (just 1–2 tsp so it doesn’t get chalky)
Add an extra tablespoon of collagen

Why Collagen?

Collagen mixes incredibly well into creamy foods like yogurt — no chalkiness, no flavor change — making it one of the easiest ways to boost your morning protein. Adding just 10 grams can help you feel fuller longer and support hair, skin, nail, and joint health.
But the real reason I add it? Effortless protein. It’s one scoop and you’re instantly starting your day with a strong macro foundation.

Coach’s Notes

One thing I always remind clients (and myself!) is that how long your breakfast keeps you full tells you a lot about what your body needs — especially when it comes to protein and total calories.

Here’s a quick guide you can use:

0–20 minutes after eating:
That slight “I could still eat” feeling is often just digestion kicking in. Mild digestion can mimic hunger pangs, so give your body a little time before deciding you need more food.
30–90 minutes after eating:
If you’re hungry again in this window, chances are your protein was too low. Try adding collagen, hemp seeds, or bumping up the yogurt portion.
Around the 2-hour mark:
If you’re not satisfied here, you might not have had enough calories, or again — not enough protein. A tablespoon of nuts, a little fruit, or choosing a higher-fat yogurt can help.

Think of this as data — your body telling you what it needs. Once you dial in the combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats that works for you, breakfast becomes effortless. - Margot
