Greek Yogurt Protein Slice

I love how light this dessert is! It's not just low in carbs but also low in calories and high in protein. All without sacrificing flavor!

I used Fage 5% Greek yogurt which is very thick compared to other types and brands. In fact, it will work even with their 0% fat yogurt because it's just as thick and delicious!

Recipe Tips

This recipe is super simple. You just need yogurt, walnuts, sweetener, chocolate chips and collagen powder. The one I like most and use all the time is Perfect Keto. They have a variety of collagen powders with delicious flavors. If you want to give it a go, make sure to use my affiliate link to get 15% off!

This is how I make my Greek Yogurt slice but it's not the only way:

  • Instead of walnuts you can use pecans, almonds or pistachios. Use toasted coco nut for nut-free.
  • Instead of greek yogurt you can use coconut yogurt for dairy-free.
  • Instead of collagen powder you can use or any other protein powder such as whey or egg white protein powder.
  • Instead of 85% dark chocolate chips you can use 90% dark chocolate chips or sugar-free chocolate chips such as Lily's.
  • Finally, you can use some berries! Simply add a few raspberries, blueberries, blackberries or some sliced strawberries.

Finally, here's a tip for slicing this frozen yogurt dessert. The larger the container, the better for slicing because the layer will be more spread out and thinner.

Here I used a small container and the yogurt was too thick to cut through which means that the slice may break and crumble. What you want is a thinner layer of yogurt as that will be easier to cut or break off.

Ingredients (makes 6 slices)

Instructions

  1. Mix the yogurt with the collagen powder and stir to combine. If using unsweetened collagen powder, add 2 tablespoon of Allulose syrup to the yogurt and stir. (See recipe tips for swaps.)
  2. Add the mixture to a freezer-friendly container, ideally lined with parchment paper for easy removal. Alternatively you can spread it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. The thinner you spread it the easier it will be to slice or break off.
  3. Add walnuts (or pecans), chocolate chips and drizzle with Allulose syrup (maple or pecan flavored).
  4. Place in the freezer until fully set for 2 to 4 hours.
  5. Remove from the freezer and cut into 6 slices.
  6. Serve immediately or freeze for up to 3 months.
