Ingredients for High-Protein Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt

Instructions for High-Protein Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt

Tips for Success
- Dice the strawberries into small pieces so every bite has plenty of fruit.
- If your protein powder is extra absorbent, add a splash of milk to loosen the mixture.
- Enjoy straight from the freezer for an ice cream-like texture, or let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes for a softer, creamier consistency.
- Try swapping the strawberries for raspberries, cherries, or sliced bananas for a fun variation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Store it covered in the freezer for several days. Let it thaw for a few minutes before eating if it's frozen solid.
Can I use a different protein powder?
Yes! Any chocolate protein powder will work, though different brands may create a slightly thicker or thinner mixture. Or you could even try vanilla (or other flavors that you prefer!).

The sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix adds a subtle cheesecake flavor while making the yogurt extra thick and creamy without needing additional ingredients.
