Introduction
This is such a handy little snack to whip up. It takes less than 10 minutes and is just a step up from a plain protein yogurt—more balanced, more satisfying, and much tastier.
It’s packed with protein, fibre, and colour, making it a great option for keeping energy levels steady and hunger in check. I love bringing one to work for elevenses or having it post-lunch when I’m craving something sweet in the afternoon.
A brilliant go-to snack to have in your back pocket.
Ingredients
- 1 Teaspoon of Chia Seeds
- 2 Tablespoons of Yogurt (Greek, fat-free, whatever you like)
- 1 Scoop of Protein Powder (your favourite flavour)
- A Good Handful of Frozen Fruit (any kind works—berries, mango, cherries etc.)
- 1 Teaspoon of Nut Butter (any kind works—almond, peanut, cashew)
- 1 Teaspoon Honey
- A Tiny Pinch of Salt
- A Sprinkle of Nuts and Seeds (whatever you’ve got lying around)
- Optional extras: granola, extra fruit on top
Steps
1. Pop your frozen fruit into a jar, bowl, or whatever you’re serving in. Boil the kettle and pour a little hot water over the fruit, just enough to soften it slightly. Let it sit for 30 seconds, then drain the water using a fork or spoon. If there’s a tiny bit left, don’t stress.
2. Add 1 tsp honey and a tiny pinch of salt, then mash it all together with a spoon or fork.
3. Add the chia seeds. Stir them into the mashed fruit, mixing well so they start absorbing the juices.
4. In a separate bowl, mix your yogurt, protein powder, and another tsp of honey until smooth.
5. Spoon the yogurt mixture over the fruit base gently so you get a nice separation of layers.
6. Sprinkle over nuts, seeds, nut butter, or granola—whatever you fancy.
7. Chill or eat straight away – Leave it in the fridge for a few hours to thicken up, or just dig in immediately.
