Skyr Weight-Loss Bowl: The “Golden Green” Recipe

Chia + Turmeric + Ginger + Collagen + Moringa

If you want a breakfast (or snack) that supports weight loss without tasting like “diet food,” this is one of the easiest wins: a high-protein skyr/yogurt bowl thickened with chia, boosted with collagen, and flavored with turmeric + ginger (plus a small amount of moringa for a nutrient lift). It’s creamy, filling, and takes 5 minutes—or you can meal-prep it overnight.

Why this bowl works for weight loss (and still tastes good)

• High protein = more fullness: Skyr/Greek yogurt is naturally high in protein, which helps reduce cravings and supports lean muscle.
• Chia = fibre + “dessert” texture: Chia expands and thickens the bowl, making it feel indulgent while adding fibre.
• Turmeric + ginger = warm, “golden latte” vibe: These spices can make plain yogurt taste more exciting (without extra sugar).
• Collagen = easy protein add-on: Collagen peptides mix in smoothly and help you hit daily protein targets.
• Moringa = nutrient booster (use a little): A small amount can add a “greens” feel without turning the taste bitter.

The “Golden Green” Skyr Bowl (1 serving)

Ingredients (exact amounts)

Base

• 250 g plain skyr (or 0–2% Greek yogurt)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (or 2 tbsp for extra thickness)
• 10–15 g collagen peptides (usually 1 scoop)

Spices + boosters

• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• ¼ tsp ginger powder (or 1 tsp fresh grated ginger)
• 1 pinch black pepper (pairs well with turmeric)
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional but makes it naturally sweeter)
• ¼–½ tsp moringa powder (start with ¼ tsp)

Fruit + crunch

• 80–120 g berries (best for weight loss)
• 10–15 g nuts, chopped (almonds/walnuts/pistachios)

Optional (for best taste)

• ½ tsp vanilla OR 1 tsp honey/maple (if needed)
• 1–2 tsp lemon juice (brightens flavor and softens “green” notes)
• 2–4 tbsp water or milk (to loosen texture)

Instructions (5 minutes)

1. Mix skyr + collagen until smooth.
2. Stir in chia seeds and 2–4 tbsp water/milk.
3. Add turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon (optional), and moringa.
4. Rest 10–15 minutes (or refrigerate overnight) to thicken.
5. Top with berries + nuts. Add lemon juice or a tiny drizzle of honey if you want it sweeter.

3 tasty variations (pick your mood)

1) Berry Cheesecake (most popular)

• Keep base recipe
• Add ½ tsp vanilla
• Top with mixed berries + a few crushed nuts
  Taste tip: cinnamon makes it “dessert-like” without sugar.

2) Mango Lassi (best if you dislike moringa taste)

• Use mango or peach instead of berries
• Add lime juice + vanilla
• Keep moringa at ¼ tsp (max)
  Taste tip: fruity acidity hides the “green” flavor.

3) Choco-Ginger (rich + cozy)

• Add 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa
• Use ½ banana (or berries) + walnuts
• Reduce turmeric to ¼ tsp if you prefer milder spice

Meal-prep version (overnight “chia skyr pudding”)

Make 3–4 jars at once:

• Multiply ingredients by the number of servings
• Mix base + spices + chia (add fruit/nuts in the morning)
• Refrigerate overnight
• Stir in a splash of milk if it thickens too much

Portions that support weight loss (simple rules)

• Protein first: keep skyr/yogurt at 200–300 g
• Chia: 1 tbsp (lighter) or 2 tbsp (more filling)
• Nuts: keep to 10–15 g (they’re healthy but calorie-dense)
• Fruit: berries are the lowest-calorie option; banana is tasty but more calorie-dense

Approx macros (example bowl)

Using 250 g skyr + 1 tbsp chia + 1 scoop collagen + berries + 10 g nuts:

• Calories: ~350–450 kcal (depends on brand + toppings)
• Protein: ~35–45 g
  This is ideal for breakfast or post-walk.

Common questions (quick FAQ)

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of skyr?
Yes—choose plain, high-protein, low-sugar.

Does collagen make it taste weird?
Most collagen peptides are neutral. If you notice a taste, add vanilla or cinnamon.

How do I stop moringa tasting bitter?
Use ¼ tsp, add lemon juice, and choose berries/mango to balance it.

Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes: use a high-protein soy yogurt if possible, then keep collagen optional (or use a plant protein blend that mixes well).

Important

This recipe is food-based, but turmeric and moringa can interact with some medications (e.g., blood thinners, diabetes or blood pressure meds). If you’re pregnant, have a medical condition, or take regular medication, check with your GP/medical professional before using these daily, especially in supplement-strength amounts.
