If you’ve ever stared at a bowl of plain Greek yoghurt thinking
“This just isn’t satisfying but I know it’s good for me ”…
you’re not alone
So here are 10 super-simple topping ideas to make it filling, tasty and actually enjoyable — without blowing your calories for the day.
(And yes… mackerel made the list. Obviously.)
- 50g Blueberries – 29 cals
Light, sweet, great for blood pressure and high in polyphenols to help your energy and immune system
2. 1 tbsp Pecans – 50 cals
Healthy fats + vitamin E.
3. 1 tbsp Granola – 70 cals
Crunchy… easy to overdo, so portion matters!
4. 1 tsp Honey – 21 cals
Just enough sweetness.
5. 1 tbsp Mixed Seeds – ~60 cals
Filling, gives the crunch, and great for digestion.
6. 1 tbsp Cacao Nibs – 50 cals
Chocolatey crunch, high antioxidants and in polyphenols to help your energy and immune system
7. ½ Banana – ~53 cals
Potassium + natural sweetness.
8. 1 tbsp Peanut/Almond Butter – ~94 cals
Delicious, filling… and smooth if you’re feeling posh, 1 tbsp can easily turn into 3 so take care…
9. 3 Strawberries & 1 Kiwi – ~67 cals
Fresh, tangy, and feels like summer.
10. 1 Tin of Mackerel – 290 cals
High protein, omega-3…

So, here’s your 170g Greek yoghurt nutritional info and then you can throw any of the above on top . Of course the total amount over the day is the key part but here’s for 170g Greek Yoghurt:
- 158 cals
- 15g protein
- Big hit of calcium
…which is why it’s such a good, filling, quick breakfast.
These are the types of small changes we talk about in the 28-Day Kickstart (Message me with “kickstart” for more info)
