Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries (look for reduced-sugar versions)
- 1/2 scoop vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Yogurt Base – Place the Greek yogurt in a medium-sized bowl. Add the protein powder and ground cinnamon. Use a spoon to vigorously stir the mixture until the powder is fully incorporated and the yogurt is smooth and creamy.
- Step 2: Add the Cranberries – Sprinkle the dried cranberries over the top of the yogurt. If you prefer a more uniform flavor, you can fold half of the cranberries into the yogurt and save the rest for the top.
- Step 3: Add Crunch and Texture – Layer the chopped walnuts and chia seeds over the yogurt. These ingredients provide a necessary crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft yogurt.
- Step 4: Final Drizzle and Finish – If you prefer a little extra sweetness, drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the top. Give it one light stir if you like, or leave the toppings as they are for a beautiful presentation.
