Cory's Notes
**Yogurt Options:**
• *Dairy:* I recommend a high-protein, lactose-free Greek yogurt for easy digestion and maximum protein.
• *Dairy-Free:* Culina and Cocojune are my favorite coconut-based yogurts—creamy and delicious.
**Protein Powder Recommendations (in order of preference):**
1. *Beef Protein Isolate:* My top choice for digestibility and amino acid profile. I like Equip (grass-fed), Be Well by Kelly, and Codeage.
2. *Other Paleo Proteins:* Egg white protein or collagen peptides work great too.
3. *Whey Protein:* A good option if you tolerate dairy well—look for grass-fed, minimally processed.
4. *Plant-Based:* If you prefer plant protein, look for blends with pea, hemp, or pumpkin seed protein.
This bowl is incredibly versatile—swap the toppings based on what you have. Berries, nut butter, granola, or seeds all work beautifully.
