Cherry Compote with Honeyed Yogurt and Cocoa Nibs
A Turkish-inspired cherry compote spiked with cocoa for fibre and spooned over honeyed whey-boosted strained yogurt, finished with crushed walnuts — a bright, tangy-sweet fruit dessert rebuilt to land well inside a tight calorie and fat ceiling while clearing a genuine double-digit protein and fibre floor.

Instructions
1
Pit and halve the cherries, then place in a small saucepan with the water, honey, lemon juice and cinnamon.
2
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries soften and the liquid reduces by about a fifth to a glossy syrup.
3
Remove from heat, stir the cocoa powder through the hot compote until fully dissolved and glossy, then let cool to room temperature.
4
Meanwhile, whisk the whey protein isolate into the chilled strained Greek yogurt until smooth with no lumps.
5
Divide the honeyed protein yogurt between two bowls, spoon the cooled cocoa cherry compote over the top, and scatter with crushed walnuts just before serving.
