Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227g) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 scoop (15g) vanilla whey or plant protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon water or milk, to loosen

  • 1 tablespoon chopped almonds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
  • Pinch of flaky salt and cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the Greek yogurt to a wide bowl so you have room to stir.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Taste and adjust sweetness with honey if you want it.

  4. 4

    Top with berries, almonds, cinnamon, and a pinch of flaky salt.

  5. 5

Recipe Notes

  • Nonfat Greek yogurt gives the highest protein per calorie. 2% works too and tastes richer.
  • Adding the powder to the yogurt before any liquid is what prevents lumps.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently, covered, until warmed through.

Meal Prep Tips

Double the batch and portion into single-serve containers while everything is still warm. Cool uncovered for 15 minutes before sealing so condensation does not water down the sauce.

Recipe Variations

  • Swap the protein one-for-one with chicken, turkey, shrimp, or extra-firm tofu.
  • Add a cup of chopped vegetables to raise the fiber without changing the cook time.
