From David Nayfeld of Che Fico, this snack is healthy, quick and easy to “adultify.”

3/4 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt

1/2 scoop (15g) protein powder

1 to 2 tablespoons milk (optional)

1/3 cup granola

1/2 cup fresh berries

1/2 banana, sliced

1½ teaspoons honey, preferably local

1 teaspoon dukkah (recipe follows)

In a bowl, stir together the yogurt and protein powder until well blended. If it looks too thick, add some milk. Add the granola, fruit, honey and dukkah on top. Serve immediately.
