I’ve never been a huge breakfast person, but these breakfast bowls are the exception I happily make. They’re cold, creamy and topped with fresh fruit, with juicy peaches being my favorite when they’re in season. Every one of them fits easily into my macros.
The one that’s a little different is my simple cream of rice breakfast bowl. It’s higher in carbs than the others, and I started making it when I was purposely eating more carbs. It stuck, and it’s still a staple in my kitchen. Who knew cream of rice wasn’t just for babies?
Before You Start
- Prep the base the night before. Mix the yogurt or cottage cheese base in a container and add the crunchy toppings in the morning so they stay crisp.
- Keep frozen fruit on hand. It’s what makes the smoothie bowls thick enough to eat with a spoon, so freeze ripe bananas and berries before they go soft.
- Use what’s in season. Peaches in summer, apples in fall, berries all year. Any fruit works on the yogurt bowls.

Want Something Savory?
If you’d rather have eggs in the morning, my sweet potato breakfast bowl with egg whites is a savory option with roasted sweet potato and egg whites. For something warm and sweet, try my butternut squash oatmeal or a slice of chocolate protein breakfast bake you can prep for the whole week.

I started macro eating and tracking two weeks ago with a macro coach and came upon your IG and website. I have downloaded two of your cookbooks and used several of the recipes. Love all of them! It is just my husband and I at home as we have two girls in college. I would love to see your new cookbook recipes for 2-4 people to make it easier to cook without having a lot of leftovers. Thank you for all of your work. You have made MACROS an enjoyable, tasty and fun way to eat healthy!
