Q&A

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?
Yes. Vanilla Greek yogurt works well, but reduce the added sweetener since it’s already sweetened.

Can I make this without protein powder?
Yes. The texture will still be creamy, but the overall protein content will be lower.

Can I meal prep this recipe?
Absolutely. Store individual portions in sealed containers for quick breakfasts or healthy snacks throughout the week.

What other fruit works well?
Raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, peaches, or diced mango all pair beautifully with the lemon flavor.
