Kids and adults alike will love the drizzle of honey and the sprinkling of seeds, while the nut or seed butter provides stick-to-your-ribs satisfaction.

Preparing the Protein-Packed Toppings

Choose your preferred nut or seed butter—think almond, peanut, or sunflower seed—for a creamy layer over each apple slice. For an extra protein bonus, top with Greek yogurt, a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, or even a sprinkle of protein powder. Drizzle lightly with honey or maple syrup to round out the flavor and help everything adhere. A dash of cinnamon adds warmth and enhances the apple’s natural sweetness.

How to Assemble Your High Protein Apple Bites

Slice apples into rounds or wedges and take care to remove the core. Spread a layer of your chosen protein topping on each piece, then add a sprinkle of seeds or yogurt. Drizzle with honey as desired, and finish with a touch of cinnamon. Assemble right before serving for that perfect crunch, or pack the components separately if you’re preparing lunchboxes to keep everything fresh.
