Why this works
Greek yogurt delivers calcium and roughly 20 g of slow protein, while walnuts add omega-3 ALA and the cinnamon nudges post-snack glucose down a little further.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2% or 5%
- 2 tbsp walnut halves, roughly broken
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Method
- 1Spoon the yogurt into a small bowl and swirl the top with the back of the spoon.
- 2Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for two minutes if you have time, it doubles the flavour.
- 3Scatter the walnuts over the yogurt, dust with cinnamon, add the salt.
- 4Drizzle with honey only if the yogurt is very tart.
Yvette's tip
Toast a whole bag of walnuts on Sunday and keep them in a jar, snack assembly then takes sixty seconds.
