Benefits of High Protein Frozen Yogurt

This healthy recipe takes regular frozen yogurt and gives it a wholesome upgrade, making it a guilt-free sweet treat that aligns with your well-being goals.

No more compromising on either taste or nutrition as this is the best of both worlds. So what are the benefits of a small bowl of this tasty treat?

Protein

Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders.

It’s a crucial nutrient we all need to grow and repair cells.

Protein-packed snacks are known to keep hunger at bay and promote feelings of fullness. They can be a game-changer for weight management, helping you control your calorie intake without feeling deprived.

Protein powder frozen yogurt provides a tasty way to incorporate this essential nutrient into your diet. So it can be your go-to treat when you need an extra kick of protein.

Yogurt

Plain Greek yogurt isn’t your ordinary dairy product. It’s a nutritional powerhouse, packed with probiotics that promote a healthy gut.

A happy gut is linked to improved digestion, better nutrient absorption, a strong immune system, and even enhanced mood. So, with every spoonful of this healthy frozen yogurt, you’re nurturing your gut too.

Raspberries and Mango

And finally, frozen raspberries and mango are fantastic source of vitamin C and fiber.

So without any added sugar, you get to satisfy your sweet tooth with this treat.

Tips for Best Results

While you can experiment with your choice of fruit and protein powder keep these tips in mind:

Frozen fruit: For this recipe to work, the fruit and berries need to be well frozen.

Make sure to process on high without stopping only once or twice if needed.

The more the fruits melt, the less of an ice cream texture it’ll have.

Alternatively, after blending is done, you can place the frozen into the freezer for 15-30 minutes.

Different flavors of protein powder: One of the first variations you may want to consider is your choice of protein powder.

The most important thing here is to choose a powder that’s not going to have a strong aftertaste.

Experiment with whey protein powder. Or make it vegan with vegan protein powder.

Turn it into a chocolate dessert with chocolate protein, by adding cocoa powder into the yogurt mixture or using chocolate chips as a topping.

Your choice of fruit. I’ve gone for mango and raspberries, but any frozen fruit mix should work.

Banana and strawberry is a classic combination, or why not go for a full tropical fruits or mixed berries blend instead?

Just make sure the total amount of fruit totals two cups.

And, if you want something even sweeter, you could always drizzle a small amount of maple syrup or homemade vanilla syrup over the frozen yogurt.

Flavored yogurt. This recipe calls for plain yogurt, but another alternative you could potentially try is using flavored yogurt. Just remember that flavored yogurt contains tons of sugar.

If you do decide to go down this route, unflavored protein powder may be the best pairing to use since this should avoid the frozen yogurt from becoming too strong in flavor.

However, if your protein powder does have an unpleasant aftertaste, going for a subtly flavored option – such as vanilla – may help mask the taste without overpowering the yogurt.

Pairing Suggestions

There are plenty of ways to serve up your frozen yogurt, which will largely depend on your personal preferences.

Of course, you can always enjoy it plain.

However, you can consider adding a little extra texture to make things more interesting.

It’s excellent when served with fresh granola, peanut butter, oats or pecan bars for a perfect snack or breakfast.

Alternatively, you could even combine it with a wholegrain biscuit base to create an indulgent high-protein cheesecake!

How To Store Your Protein Frozen Yogurt

Store your leftover protein frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Leave at room temperature for 3-5 minutes and enjoy.

Make in big batches and you’ll always have a healthy snack to turn to when scrambling for ideas.

One Last Thing

Alright, it’s time to give this simple recipe a try!

So, scoop in those frozen raspberries and mango chunks, have a blast trying out different combos, and enjoy a treat that’s all about tasty goodness and keeping you on the healthy track.
