Protein: 46g
Ingredients:
½ apple, diced
1 tbsp water
Cinnamon & pumpkin spice to taste
1 cup 0% Greek yogurt
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
15g crushed pecans
Instructions:
Prep the Apples: Start by dicing half an apple. Add a splash of water and season generously with cinnamon and pumpkin spice (the more, the cozier!). Pop the mixture in the microwave for about 2 minutes until the apples are soft and fragrant.
Mix the Yogurt: While the apples are warming up, take 1 cup of 0% Greek yogurt and stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder. This not only adds creaminess but also boosts the protein content significantly.
Assemble the Bowl: Once the apples are ready, pour the warm apple mixture over the yogurt. Don’t forget to drizzle in that sweet spiced water from the apples—it adds an extra layer of flavor! Top with 15g of crushed pecans for some added crunch and healthy fats.
Enjoy! Grab a spoon and dive into this fall-flavored protein-packed delight!
