Ingredients
- 2 large apples, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons water (for yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon water (for nut butter)
- 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons granola
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Slice the apples into thin rounds, about ¼-inch thick, remove the core, and arrange them in overlapping layers on a large serving plate.
- Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Mix Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Whisk almond butter with 1 tablespoon water in a separate small bowl until it reaches a drizzle-able consistency.
- Drizzle the protein yogurt mixture evenly over the arranged apple slices.
- Drizzle the thinned almond butter over the yogurt layer decoratively.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, granola, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds evenly over the top.
- Finish with a light dusting of cinnamon and optional chocolate chips, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Slice apples just before serving to maintain crisp texture.
- Keep the apple skin on for extra fiber.
- Add more water by the teaspoon if the yogurt mixture is too thick to drizzle.
- Warm the nut butter slightly for easier drizzling.
- Layer apples so every piece receives toppings.
