Quick High Protein Snack with Banana, Nuts, Dates, and Seeds

This high-protein snack — or quick breakfast — comes together in just 1–2 minutes. It’s one of those easy snacks you throw together because you happen to have the ingredients at home — but it turns out so delicious that you’ll want to keep making it on repeat.

Greek yogurt or Skyr brings a creamy texture and a big boost of protein, while nut butter, nuts, and seeds add healthy fats, flavor, and crunch. Banana and dates provide natural sweetness, fiber, and extra vitamins, and a drizzle of maple syrup takes this easy snack to the next level — but feel free to swap it for honey or skip it entirely if the banana and dates are sweet enough for you.

Hope you love this simple, satisfying snack — it’s perfect as a quick post-workout meal, a nourishing breakfast, or a late-night treat.

Ingredients

• 200 g low-fat Greek Yogurt or Skyr
• 1/2 banana
• 1 tbsp creamy unsweetened nut butter (such as peanut or almond butter)
• 1 tbsp nuts (such as peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, or cashews)
• 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• 1 Medjool date
• Maple syrup, to taste

Recipe

1. Slice the banana. Remove the pit from the date and chop it. Roughly chop the nuts, if desired.
2. Place the Greek Yogurt or Skyr in a serving bowl. Top with the nut butter, sliced banana, chopped date, nuts, and pumpkin seeds.
3. Drizzle with a little maple syrup to taste — and enjoy your high protein snack!

Notes

• Sprinkle a pinch of cacao nibs for extra flavor.
• Swap the banana for fresh berries.
• Add a tablespoon of granola for extra crunch.
• Swap maple syrup for honey — or skip sweetener entirely if the banana and date are sweet enough.
