Ingredients
· 3/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
· 1/3 cup (about 30g) protein powder (any preferred flavor)
· 1–2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (optional, for smoother consistency)
· 1-2 tsp sugar replacement (optional, see notes)
· Mix-ins (optional: cocoa powder, peanut butter, cinnamon, or fruit, see below)
Directions
1. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and protein powder until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk and stir until creamy.
2. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
3. Top with fresh berries, nuts, or sugar-free chocolate chips, if desired.
Notes
· Granulated vs. Liquid Sugar Replacements: Liquid sweeteners (like sugar-free syrups or liquid stevia) mix more smoothly and prevent a gritty texture. Granulated sweeteners can work, but they may take extra stirring to fully dissolve. If using granulated, you can mix it with a splash of almond milk to help it blend better.
