As college athletes, we start our days early and rarely get a break between practice, classes, homework, and more practice.  Nutrition is one of the most important aspects of maintaining fitness, but it's almost impossible to find time to cook healthy meals, the dining halls don't exactly work around athletes' crazy schedules, and eating out gets expensive. If this sounds familiar, we have just the recipe for you. 

These protein yogurt bowl is dorm-friendly, protein-rich, and Division I athlete-tested: 

Ingredients 

• ¾ cup plain greek yogurt
• ½ serving protein powder of choice
• Granola of choice
• Any toppings you want to add! Fruit, chia seeds, chocolate chips, and honey are just some ideas.

Greek yogurt is an easy and healthy breakfast option that can even be made in the dorms. Mixing in some protein powder and granola makes it a tasty, high-protein meal. I love adding some chia seeds and cacao nibs on top for an extra crunch.
