Greek Yogurt Protein (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - Scoop 1/2 cup (40 g) of your favorite protein powder—chocolate, vanilla, or plain if you don’t want added flavor
02 - Add a cup (250 g) of Greek yogurt—regular for rich and creamy or low-fat for a lighter option

→ Creaminess and Sweetness

03 - Drizzle on 1-2 tablespoons of nut butter like peanut or almond butter
04 - Sweeten it up with 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup—use as much as you like

→ Optional Enhancements

05 - Toss in a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber and thickness
06 - Splash in some milk—dairy, oat, or almond—just a bit at a time if your mix feels too thick
07 - Add a little extra flavor with a half teaspoon of vanilla extract
08 - Stir in a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder if you want a stronger chocolatey taste
09 - Drop in a pinch of sea salt—makes the flavors pop

# Steps to Follow:

01 - You can eat it now or stash it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days.
02 - If you want yours thicker with more fiber, gently stir in chia seeds and let everything sit for 5 minutes.
03 - Take a taste and squeeze in more honey or syrup if you want it sweeter.
04 - Keep whisking or stirring until everything comes together and looks silky. Add a splash of milk if things get too thick.
05 - Start by tossing Greek yogurt, your protein powder, your nut butter, and whatever extras you’d like (like cocoa or vanilla) into a bowl.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Going with full-fat Greek yogurt gives you a luxurious, creamy treat. Want fewer calories? Use the low-fat stuff.
02 - Cocoa powder plus a little sea salt brings out bold chocolate flavors.
03 - Chia seeds will thicken your mix and sneak in more fiber.
