Stop Buying Store Parfaits! Make This Protein Strawberry Strudel Fluffy Yogurt
↓ Jump to RecipeThis tastes like a creamy strawberry bakery parfait, but each serving has 32g of protein! The vanilla yogurt becomes extra thick and frosting-like, while cookie-butter granola and freeze-dried strawberries soften into sweet strudel-inspired swirls.
The secret to this ultra-thick, frosting-like consistency is mixing sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix directly into Greek yogurt. It instantly transforms humble yogurt into a dense, velvety dessert base that satisfies every sweet craving.
Layered with crunchy cookie-butter granola and tart freeze-dried strawberries, the crumbs absorb moisture as it chills, creating a soft, bakery-style pastry swirl. Prep a couple of jars ahead of time for an effortless 32g protein boost whenever hunger strikes!
