Why I Love This Recipe

If you love the flavor of key lime pie but want something healthier, this protein-packed yogurt bowl is the perfect solution. It comes together in just a couple of minutes and has the creamy texture and tangy flavor you’d expect from a key lime dessert with a boost of protein to keep you satisfied. It’s perfect for dipping fruit, graham crackers, or just enjoying by the spoonful. I like to keep the ingredients on hand for a quick post-workout snack or late-night treat.

Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Greek yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a boost of protein. You can use vanilla yogurt for a sweeter version.
  • Protein powder: Vanilla protein powder adds sweetness and flavor. Use your favorite brand!
  • Lime juice: Adds tartness and bright flavor. Fresh is best, but bottled lime juice works too.
  • Lime zest: A little goes a long way and gives it that unmistakable key lime flavor.
  • Crushed graham cracker: Adds texture and that classic key lime pie touch. I used Simple Mills Sweet Thins because they’re packed with good-for-you ingredients!

My Favorite Protein Powders

I really like the flavor and texture of Clean Simple Eats protein powder. It blends nicely into yogurt and has a great, sweet vanilla flavor. If you’re looking for a plant-based option, I like the Truvani plant-based protein. It may sound obvious, but make sure you like the flavor of your protein powder if you’re using it in this recipe.

Tips and Tricks

  • Mix the yogurt and protein powder thoroughly before adding the lime juice to avoid clumping.
  • If your protein powder is unsweetened, you may want to add a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey.
  • For a thicker, more dessert-like dip, chill for 20–30 minutes before serving.
  • I like using Simple Mills Sweet Thins for the graham crackers, because they’re made with seed and nut flour, so they’re a good source of healthy fats.
