Easy Swaps and Texture Fixes

  • Use raspberries or blackberries instead of strawberries.
  • Replace almonds with pumpkin seeds for a nut-free option.

  • Add 1 tbsp milk if the protein powder makes the base too thick.
  • Choose unflavored powder and 1/4 tsp vanilla for less sweetness.

Greek Yogurt Bowl FAQ

Can I skip protein powder?

Yes. Use another 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and expect a milder flavor and different protein total.

Why is the base chalky?

The powder may need more mixing or liquid. Whisk in 1 teaspoon milk at a time.
