Example snack: plain Greek yogurt with fresh berries and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts

Why it’s healthy
- Protein: Greek yogurt is high in protein, which helps you feel full and supports muscles and recovery.
- Fiber & antioxidants: Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) add fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants that support digestion and overall health.
- Healthy fats: Walnuts provide heart-healthy omega-3 fats and extra satiety.
- Low added sugar: Using plain yogurt keeps added sugars low; natural sweetness comes from the fruit.

Quick prep (2 minutes)
1. Spoon about 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt into a bowl.
2. Top with 1/2 cup mixed fresh berries.
3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (or seeds if nut allergy).
4. Optional: a dash of cinnamon or a tiny drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you want extra sweetness.

Portion & variations
- Portion: about 250–300 kcal depending on amounts; adjust to hunger and calorie needs.
- For vegan/dairy-free: use unsweetened soy or almond yogurt (soy offers more protein).
- For lower carbs: use more nuts/seeds and fewer berries.
- Add-ins: chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or a small spoonful of nut butter.

When it’s a good choice
- Mid-morning or afternoon when you need sustained energy and to avoid blood-sugar crashes.
- After a workout for protein and carbs to aid recovery.

If you want other snack ideas (savory, vegan, nut-free), tell me your preferences and I’ll suggest a few.
