Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for vegan)

• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• 1/4 cup fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)

• 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed

• 1 tbsp nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), chopped

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Why This Works as a “Weight-Friendly Dessert”

• Protein from yogurt keeps you full longer.

• Fiber from berries and seeds aids digestion and satiety.

• Healthy fats from nuts support blood sugar stability.

• Low in refined sugar → prevents insulin spikes that can drive cravings.

Tips

• Meal prep: Make 2–3 servings in jars for a grab-and-go snack.

• Variations: Swap berries for diced apple or banana, sprinkle cocoa powder for chocolate flavor.

• Optional boost: Add 1 scoop protein powder to increase protein content.
