Sprinkle of cinnamon

Chef’s Tips:
-
Use plain Greek yogurt to control sugar.
-
Slice banana thin for even distribution.
-
Swirl almond butter lightly for a marbled effect.
Instructions
Place the yogurt in your favorite bowl. If you have a minute, let it sit at room temperature for a creamier texture.
Add almond butter on top and gently swirl with a spoon. Aim for a marbled effect to get pockets of richness in each bite.
Fan out the banana slices and sprinkle cinnamon over the top. Add optional chia seeds, nuts, granola, or berries as desired. Drizzle honey or maple syrup last.
Eat immediately for the best texture, especially if using crunchy granola.
On-the-Go Option: Layer in a mason jar: yogurt, almond butter, banana, then granola/nuts on top. Keep covered in the fridge until ready to eat.
Notes
-
Mix protein powder into yogurt for an extra boost (thin with milk if needed).
-
Swirling almond butter gives texture and visual appeal—don’t overmix.
-
Always check nut butter freshness for the best flavor.
