Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 1 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (225 g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or 2% for extra creaminess)
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey or plant protein (optional, boosts protein and sweetness)
  • 1–2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup, honey, or zero-cal sweetener (to taste)
  • Pinch of salt (enhances flavor)
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (dairy or almond) to thin if needed
  • Optional toppings: sliced banana, diced apples, berries, chopped pecans or walnuts, low-sugar granola, crushed graham crackers, a drizzle of light cream cheese “icing”

Instructions
 

  • Mix the base: In a bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, vanilla, sweetener, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  • Add protein (optional): Stir in the protein powder. If it gets too thick, add a splash of milk until creamy.
  • Create the cinnamon swirl: In a small cup, mix cinnamon with a little sweetener and a teaspoon of water or maple syrup to make a pourable paste.
  • Swirl it in: Spoon the cinnamon mixture over the yogurt and gently swirl with a knife or spoon.
  • Top it off: Add fruit, nuts, or granola as desired. Keep it lighter with fruit or go indulgent with a small crunch topping.
  • Optional icing: Combine 1 tablespoon light cream cheese, 1 teaspoon milk, a drop of vanilla, and a touch of sweetener. Drizzle over the top.
