This play on a whipped mousse packs a big punch of protein. Mix a serving of plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt with 1/4 banana sliced and two tablespoons of powdered or regular peanut butter, then top it all with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, suggests Muhlstein. “When stirred together, this snack tastes like a whipped mousse or cheesecake, and it’s the perfect choice for those times when you won’t be eating your next meal for a while,” she says.
