Why this works on GLP-1
High protein density (30g in ~320 cal) hits satiety target in smallest possible volume — critical when appetite shrinks on GLP-1. Bland profile handles first-week nausea.
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (5% milkfat)
- 1 scoop whey or pea protein powder (~20g)
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- ½ cup frozen berries (no sugar added)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
Steps
- Spoon Greek yogurt into a bowl.
- Stir in protein powder until fully blended (this is the trick — add powder gradually).
- Top with flaxseed, frozen berries, and honey.
- Eat slowly — GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying. Stop with first fullness signal.
