Ingredients

• Plain Skyr: 1 cup (about 6 oz or 170g) – Choose nonfat or 2%, whatever you prefer!
• Pinch of Salt: Just a tiny bit, it really helps balance the flavors.
• Honey or Maple Syrup: 1-2 teaspoons, measured to your taste. Start with less, you can always add more!
• Vanilla Extract: ¼ teaspoon (optional, but highly recommended for a cozy flavor)
• Toppings
• Mixed Berries: ½ cup (fresh or frozen, your choice!)
• Banana or Apple: ¼ cup, sliced or diced (optional, for extra fruitiness)
• Crunch: ¼ cup granola or toasted oats
• Healthy Fats: 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) or seeds (chia, flax, or pumpkin)
• Optional Add-ins (brief only)
• Cinnamon: A sprinkle for warmth.
• Lemon Zest: A tiny pinch for brightness.
• Cocoa Powder: ½ teaspoon for a chocolatey twist.
• Peanut Butter Swirl: 1 tablespoon for extra richness and protein.

Directions

1. Prep Your Base: Grab a bowl. Add the plain skyr, a tiny pinch of salt, your chosen sweetener (honey or maple syrup), and the optional vanilla extract. Stir everything together really well until it’s super smooth and creamy. You want to make sure the sweetener is fully incorporated.
2. Taste & Adjust: Before you add anything else, give your skyr base a quick taste. Does it need a little more sweetness? A touch more vanilla? Adjust it now to get it just right for your palate. This is your chance to perfect it!
3. Add Your Fruit: Gently fold in your mixed berries. If you’re using banana or apple, add those now too.
4. Crunch Time: Now for the best part! Sprinkle your granola or toasted oats right on top. Don't stir it in yet if you want to keep that crunch!
5. Finish with Fats: Finally, scatter your chopped nuts or seeds over the granola. If you're using any other optional add-ins like a peanut butter swirl, drizzle or dollop it on now.
6. And just like that, you’ve got a delicious, `high protein low fat meal` that’s ready to enjoy!
