The Greek Yogurt Power Bowl
The no-stove entry, for mornings when even a fried egg is ambitious. A pint-sized bowl of Greek yogurt carrying ~25 grams of protein, built with the same equation as your dinner bowls: creamy base, crunchy thing, fresh thing, drizzle. Ninety seconds of assembly, no burns possible.

Cook Mode walks these one at a time, with timers and a way out when things go sideways.
The idea
Assembly is cooking. Take away the stove, the rice, and the dinner hour, and the bowl equation still feeds you.
Substitutions
- Greek yogurt → skyr (more protein), cottage cheese (savory road: olive oil, pepper, tomatoes), or regular yogurt (thinner, less protein)
- berries → banana coins, chopped apple with cinnamon, mango, or thawed frozen anything. Frozen berries thawed overnight in the fridge arrive in their own sauce. Plan-ahead cheat code.
- nuts or granola → toasted oats, pumpkin seeds, or crushed pretzels. Crunch is a texture requirement, not an ingredient.
- honey → maple syrup, jam swirl, or nothing if the fruit is ripe
Tomorrow
- Nothing to leave over — but tomorrow's berries can already be thawing in the fridge tonight.
Assembled bowls don't hold (soggy granola). Components keep for a week — assembly is the only fresh step.
Make ahead
Night-before move: frozen berries into a jar in the fridge. Morning-you inherits fruit in syrup.
