When mornings are rushed, a yogurt bowl is the fastest way to get real protein instead of a pastry. Plain Greek yogurt brings around 24 grams in a single cup, along with the calcium that matters more with every passing decade for women 45 and older.
This version stays low in added sugar by leaning on berries and cinnamon for sweetness rather than flavored yogurt. It takes five minutes, needs no cooking, and travels well in a jar if you eat breakfast at work.

Tips
- ✓Read the granola label and pick one with less than 8 g of added sugar per serving—many are closer to candy than cereal.
- ✓Swap almond butter for peanut butter or tahini if that is what is in the pantry.
- ✓For even more protein, stir a half scoop of unflavored protein powder into the yogurt before topping.
