Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (120 g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop (25–30 g) vanilla or unflavored whey or plant protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (40 g) high-fiber cereal or cooked quinoa (choose low-sugar)
  • 1/2 medium banana, sliced, or 1/2 cup berries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or zero-calorie sweetener (optional)
  • Pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla extract (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with the protein powder until smooth. Add a splash of water or milk if it’s too thick.
  2. Fold in the cottage cheese. Don’t overmix—leaving a few curds keeps a nice texture.
  3. Add the cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or your preferred sweetener.
  4. Layer on the high-fiber cereal or quinoa. This adds crunch and slows digestion for steady energy.
  5. Top with the banana or berries, then sprinkle over the chia (or flax) and nuts.
  6. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes so the chia softens slightly. Enjoy right away, or chill for a few minutes if you like it colder.
