Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder (vanilla-flavored)
- 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.5 Fresh cucumber
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the fresh mint leaves and grating the half cucumber. Set them aside for later use.
In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and whey protein powder. Stir together until the protein powder is thoroughly mixed and smooth.
Add the chopped mint leaves, grated cucumber, fresh lemon juice, chia seeds, and salt into the yogurt mixture. Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste the yogurt and stir in honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Mix thoroughly.
Cover the yogurt mixture and refrigerate it for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the chia seeds to absorb some moisture, creating a thicker texture.
Serve chilled in small bowls or cups, garnished with a few extra mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your refreshing high protein yogurt as a delightful and nutritious snack!
