Breakfast
Greek yogurt berry bowl
The morning staple of the protein era, done properly: thick whipped yogurt, two kinds of berries, and a deliberately measured crunch layer. The granola is the densest thing in the bowl — so it goes on top where you taste it, not underneath where you don't.

Steps

- Finish with granola, chia seeds, and the honey if you want it sweeter.
Nonfat or whole milk yogurt?
Whole-milk scores slightly lower but many people find it keeps them full longer and skips the urge to snack — both are fine. The nonfat version pushes protein per calorie even higher.
Why this score
Computed on the finished dish, not an average of the parts: 501 kcal goes into the pot, 435 g of ingredients comes out as ~435 g of food → 115kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water, and energy density is the score's biggest lever — so we show the math. Full formula here.
