Notes
- Why it works: Greek yogurt and protein powder add muscle-building protein and help with satiety.
- Weight loss tip: Portion about 1/4 cup with fruit or whole-grain crackers.
- Game day idea: Serve with strawberries, pretzels, rice cakes, or homemade protein cookies.
- Creative pairings: Try with protein waffles/pancakes strips, roasted chickpeas, or sliced boiled eggs for a savory twist.
- 21 Day Fix: Counts as a red container (protein); pair with a purple container (fruit).
- Hangover helper: Pair with hydrating fruits like watermelon or grapes.
- Common mistakes: Avoid flavored yogurt (adds sugar), don’t skip chilling, and don’t overmix sprinkles.
- Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days; stir before serving. Not freezer-friendly.
- Diet swaps: Use coconut yogurt + plant protein for dairy-free; chocolate protein powder for a chocolate version; stevia/monk fruit for lower sugar.
