These High-Protein Yogurt Bowls Are Taking Over TikTok — Here's How To Actually Enjoy Them
You can't scroll for 10 seconds on FoodTok (that's the food side of TikTok) without seeing high-protein yogurt bowls dominating the 'What I Eat In A Day' and 'Meal Prep' hashtags. With millions of views and comments like 'literally tastes like dessert' and 'my go-to 3 p.m. fix,' I had to see if they were as satisfying (and tasty) as they looked. The viral and simple version of this bowl often includes a base of Greek yogurt mixed with protein powder. The more complex recipes add nut butters, fruit, granola, and sometimes even sugar-free pudding mix. The idea is to make something that feels indulgent but packs 25–40 grams of protein per serving. Users say it keeps them full for hours, helps them hit fitness goals, and satisfies their sweet tooth. One TikTok user swore: 'I crave yogurt bowls almost every single night!' and with that kind of hype, I started experimenting. Here's what went into my first version: I mixed the protein powder directly into the yogurt, which made it super thick and creamy — almost like a mousse. But the more I stirred to dissolve the protein powder, the more it began to take on a not-so-enticing gloopy texture. However, layering the toppings made it feel a bit like building a parfait. The key for me was texture: fresh fruit for brightness, granola for crunch, and just a touch of chocolate for fun. The first bite was… good, but a little boring. It was creamy, sweet, and satisfying, but not quite dessert-like. The yogurt had a slight gloopiness, and the grainy texture from the protein powder made the mouthfeel less than ideal. For round two, I wanted to level up both the flavor and texture of the yogurt-protein mix. I did a little deep dive into protein powders and swapped in a new one with cleaner ingredients and glowing five-star reviews. I also went for a more exciting flavor this time: white chocolate! In addition to the protein swap, I switched out the Greek yogurt for Icelandic-style skyr. If you're not familiar, skyr is like Greek yogurt's thicker, denser cousin. You might be thinking, Wait — how does thicker yogurt fix a gloopy texture? Hear me out: skyr is strained even more than Greek yogurt, which gives it a rich, ultra-smooth consistency that's basically made for this kind of thing. Bonus: it's also slightly higher in protein, which is kind of the whole point, right? When I mixed the two together, the texture was already noticeably better. But the real game changer? I added two tablespoons of water. That small tweak made the mixture even smoother and helped the protein powder dissolve more evenly — no grainy weirdness this time. Now, I wanted to see how toppings could create a real dessert out of this protein-packed bowl. I decided to create my own super quick two-ingredient magic shell for topping. Here's how to make it: As for my final thoughts, I get why this trend is blowing up. It's easy, customizable, and actually fills you up. I had this after a tough workout and felt full for hours, and that full feeling meant I didn't have my usual 3 p.m. crash, which always results in reaching for a sugary iced coffee. If you already love yogurt, this is a no-brainer. If not, it might take a little flavor-tweaking to make it something you crave. Would I make it again? I already have!

Yoplait gets injunction stopping Danone launching allegedly similar yoghurt product
Yoplait has been granted a High Court injunction preventing a rival from next week launching an allegedly confusingly similar product to its 'Skyr' natural yoghurt. Yoplait Ireland Ltd is suing Nutricia Ireland Ltd, the Irish subsidiary of Danone, over alleged "passing off" the product. Advertisement Yoplait claims that the "get up", or packaging, of the Danone Skyr "Icelandic style" yoghurt is so similar to Yoplait "Skyr" product that consumers are likely to be confused when shopping. Yoplait claims Danone is piggybacking on the goodwill it has built up in its product to sell its product and engaging in an unfair competitive tactic in doing so. Nutricia argued Yoplait did not meet the requirements for an injunction and failed to provide any evidence of confusion among consumers. On Friday, Mr Justice Max Barrett said he was satisfied to grant an injunction restraining Nutricia from passing off certain Danone products as those of Yoplait by placing them on the market in Ireland with a get up that is confusingly similar to the Yoplait products. Advertisement At a hearing over the injunction application earlier this week, which Nutricia opposed, the court heard both products are marketed as zero fat, high protein, low or no sugar with low calorie content based on Icelandic-style yoghurt recipes. Yoplait launched its Skyr in 2022 while there has been Danone Skyr product in France for a number of years but Yoplait says the French packaging was distinctly different from the Yoplait Skyr. When Nutricia launched in the UK in February last, Yoplait says the Danone product was packaged in a similar style to Yoplait product using a similar distinctive blue colour and a white mountain or iceberg while the size of the tub containers was also similar. Nutricia disputed the claims and said Yoplait failed to meet the requirements for an injunction. Yoplait also had not provided any evidence of consumer confusion, it said. Advertisement In his judgment, Mr Justice Barrett said as far as the established test in relation to similar products was concerned, it was the "sheer blueness (with white as the background colour) that jumps out when one looks at the Yoplait and Danone containers that are issue".

In one photo, the "blueness of the competing Yoplait/Danone products is so pronounced that it is difficult to tell them apart in a picture," he said. He was satisfied the balance of convenience favoured maintaining the status quo until the full hearing of the action has been determined. He was also satisfied that in the absence of an injunction, and where Yoplait wins its main action, that the awarding of damages would not be an adequate remedy for the plaintiff firm.

Yoplait seeks injunction over next week's Danone ‘Skyr' launch in Ireland
Yoplait is seeking a High Court injunction over a rival's plans for an Irish launch next week of an allegedly confusingly similar product to its 'Skyr' natural yoghurt.

Yoplait claims Danone is piggybacking on the goodwill it has built up in its product to sell its product and engaging in an unfair competitive tactic in doing so. On Tuesday, Yoplait sought an injunction, pending full hearing of its passing off claim, preventing Nutricia from launching its Danone product with the intended similar get up which is already available in the UK market. Nutricia denies the claims and opposes the injunction application. Advertisement The case came before Mr Justice Max Barrett who admitted the case to the court's competition list on consent between the parties. The judge said he would give his decision on Friday. Opening the injunction application, Kelley Smith SC, for Yoplait, said the defendant intends to launch in Ireland on May 6 with what is a "confusingly similar get up". Both products are marketed as zero-fat, high-protein, low or no-sugar with low-calorie content based on Icelandic-style yoghurt recipes. Advertisement Yoplait launched its Skyr in 2022 and is the leading supplier of the product in the Irish market, counsel said. Yoplait has a "significant mental" and "strong physical" availability among consumers, she said. Danone has had a Skyr product in France for a number of years but the packaging was distinctly different from the Yoplait Skyr, she said. When it launched in the UK in February last, the Danone product was packaged in a similar style to the Yoplait product using a similar distinctive blue colour and a white mountain or iceberg, she said. The size of the tub containers used by both are very similar also, she said. Advertisement Surveys have shown consumers typically spend five seconds or less on choosing a product, and they rely on colours and layouts to make their choice, she said. Michael Cush SC, for the defendant, argued Yoplait failed to meet the requirements for an injunction, including in relation a number of factual matters. These included that Yoplait had withdrawn its challenge to the bottle version of the Danone product and was now only disputing the get up of the tubs. There was an absence of any evidence of confusion among consumers other than reference to the existence of the similar Danone Skyr product in Belgium, which has been on the market since last October, he said.

The court heard Yoplait had said it would bring proceedings in that country. There was also an absence of contradictory expert evidence from Yoplait in relation to Nutrica's expert evidence that the risk of confusion was improbable, he said. A survey of consumers carried out by Yoplait did not advance its case at all, he said. There were also significant differences in relation to the packaging, including darker blue on Yoplait than Danone, shape of the larger tubs, lettering and graphics, he said.
