Yoghurt with figs and walnuts in a glass

Ingredients

200g Greek yoghurt

2 fresh figs, quartered (or 3 dried, chopped)

15g walnuts, roughly chopped

1 tsp honey

1 tbsp pumpkin seeds

Pinch of ground cinnamon

Method

1

Spoon the yoghurt into a bowl.

2

Top with the figs, walnuts and pumpkin seeds.

3

Drizzle with honey and finish with the cinnamon.

Why it works

Yoghurt gives you calcium and protein, both of which matter more for bones and muscle after menopause. Walnuts and seeds add healthy fats that help you stay full for longer.
