Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • Instructions

    1. Combine the base ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and optional vanilla extract.

    2. Whisk until smooth: Using a whisk or a fork, vigorously mix the yogurt and protein powder until there are no lumps and the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. The protein powder should be fully incorporated.

    3. Stir in the chia seeds: Add the chia seeds to the yogurt mixture and stir well to distribute them evenly. This will help the dessert thicken slightly and add a pleasant texture.

    4. Gently fold in the fruit: Add the mixed berries (or your chosen fruit) to the bowl. Gently fold them into the yogurt mixture, being careful not to mash them too much if you prefer larger fruit pieces.

    5. Taste and sweeten (optional): Taste the dessert. If you desire more sweetness, drizzle in the honey or maple syrup and stir until combined.

    6. Serve immediately or chill: Your high-protein dessert is ready to enjoy right away! For a slightly thicker, chilled treat, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
