Ingredients

For 1 servings

•

¾ cup plain full-fat yogurt (or Greek yogurt)

•

1 ripe banana, sliced

•

1 tbsp natural peanut butter

•

1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup

•

Pinch cinnamon

•

Optional: crushed walnuts or almonds, chia seeds, dark chocolate shavings

How I Make It

Spoon the yogurt into a bowl

Use a wide, shallow bowl so you have room to layer everything beautifully. Room temperature yogurt feels more comforting than cold.

Layer the banana

Slice ripe banana in rounds and arrange on top. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more calming it is.

Drizzle peanut butter over the banana

If your peanut butter is thick, warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave so it drizzles easily.

Sweeten and spice

Drizzle honey or maple syrup and dust with cinnamon. Add any optional toppings.

Enjoy slowly and unwind

I eat this sitting down, without my phone. That's part of what makes it feel like self-care.

Lee's Notes

→ Ripe bananas are key — they're sweeter, easier to digest, and more comforting.
→ Full-fat yogurt keeps me fuller through the night compared to low-fat versions.
→ A pinch of cinnamon does more than add flavor — it helps balance blood sugar before sleep.
→ This is my 'I deserve something gentle tonight' bowl. No guilt. Just nourishment.
