Ingredients
Dairy and Dairy Alternatives
- 2 (5.3 oz) containers Dannon Light and Fit Strawberry Cheesecake Greek Yogurt
- 8 oz Fat Free Cool Whip
- 2 tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Protein and Flavorings
- 2 scoops (66 grams) Dymatize Elite Vanilla Casein Protein Powder
- 3/4 cup (23 grams) freeze dried strawberries
Instructions
- Grind Freeze Dried Strawberries: Add the freeze dried strawberries to a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse repeatedly until they form a fine powder. This step intensifies the strawberry flavor and helps it blend smoothly.
- Blend Protein and Yogurt: To the food processor with the strawberry powder, add the vanilla casein protein powder, Greek yogurt, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Blend the mixture until completely smooth and well combined, ensuring an even texture.
- Incorporate Cool Whip: Add the fat-free Cool Whip to the blender and pulse briefly just until the Cool Whip is incorporated. Be careful not to over-blend to maintain the light and fluffy texture.
- Serve: Spoon the strawberry protein fluff into serving dishes. For added texture and flavor, optionally top with extra Cool Whip and graham cracker crumbs.
Notes
- Use a high-speed blender or food processor for best results when powdering the freeze dried strawberries.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and Cool Whip with a non-dairy whipped topping.
- The protein powder used here is vanilla flavored casein; you can experiment with other flavors like strawberry or unflavored to vary taste.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days; do not freeze as the texture may change.
- Graham cracker crumbs add a nice crunch but are optional for a gluten-free diet if you omit them or use gluten-free crackers.
