Ingredients

  • 80 g whole grain bread — cut into 4 small squares
  • 80 g cooked turkey breast — thinly sliced or finely chopped
  • 120 g plain greek yogurt 2 percent — plain
  • 20 g unflavoured or vanilla protein powder — whey or plant-based
  • 1 g ground cinnamon — ground
  • 1 g matcha powder — sifted if clumpy
  • 10 g honey or maple syrup — liquid optional
  • 15 ml water — room temperature

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the greek yogurt, protein powder, matcha powder, ground cinnamon, and water until smooth and just spreadable; add a little more water, 5 ml at a time, if it feels too thick.
  2. Taste the yogurt mixture and, if you need a bit more sweetness to make it easier to eat with low appetite, stir in the honey or maple syrup until dissolved.
  3. Lightly toast the whole grain bread squares in a dry pan or toaster for 2–3 minutes until just warm and soft, not overly crisp, to keep them easy to chew and digest.
  4. Lay the warm bread squares on a plate and top each with an even layer of turkey breast, pressing gently so it sits flat and does not slide.
  5. Spoon the cinnamon matcha yogurt mixture over the turkey in a thin layer, spreading to the edges so each bite has protein and moisture.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature in small pieces; start with one mini toast at a time, pausing between bites to check fullness.

Tips for GLP-1 users

If your appetite is very low, plate only one or two mini toasts at first so the portion looks less overwhelming, and sip water or herbal tea slowly alongside to help the food go down comfortably.

For an even gentler option on sensitive days, skip toasting and use very soft bread, trimming crusts to reduce chewing effort and make the snack easier to finish.

If dairy feels heavy, swap the greek yogurt for a high-protein plant yogurt and choose a plant-based protein powder to keep the texture creamy but lighter on the stomach.
