Protein is an important part of a heart-healthy diet. The body needs protein to build and repair muscles. The heart is a muscle, so consuming the right kind of protein can help keep it healthy and reduce the risk of heart disease, says cardiologist Kimberly Campbell, MD, at Cardiology Consultants of Philadelphia.

According to Michigan-based nutritionist Victoria Whittington, the best high-protein snack for heart health is low-fat Greek yogurt combined with fruit and nuts. Because Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein. Fruit and nuts provide fiber, heart-healthy fats, and antioxidants. Therefore, this perfect combination can lead to a healthy heart.

Additionally, Greek yogurt is a great source of probiotics, which support a healthy gut microbiome. And certain types of healthy gut bacteria have a positive effect on cholesterol and other substances linked to heart disease, according to a study published in the journal Cell Press.
