Ingredients:
1/4 cup of walnuts, chopped
1 small organic apple, chopped
1 cup of nonfat plain Greek Yogurt or nonfat plain kefir
Directions:
Place the chopped walnuts and apple in a small bowl; mix in nonfat Greek yogurt or pour kefir into the bowl.
- This snack packs a powerful nutritious punch; Omega 3's from the walnuts, fiber and other nutrients from the apple and protein, calcium and probiotics from both Greek yogurt or kefir. It also tastes great! Try this dish with your favorite type of apple or pear. Berries work well too.
- Using Greek yogurt will boost the amount of protein you will be getting and provide a thicker consistency to the final dish. Total calories, approximately 300 - 350 (depending on the size of the fruit and brand of the kefir or Greek yogurt you use).
- Use "plain" Greek yogurt or kefir, so only the naturally occurring milk sugars will be present, instead of "flavored" kefir or yogurt which has added sugar (and added calories).
