Protein Mixture
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
- 1 scoop low carb vanilla protein powder
Optional Garnishes

- Cool to Room Temperature: Allow the jello mixture to cool down at room temperature. Avoid placing it in the fridge immediately to prevent premature setting.

Notes
- Use plain Greek yogurt with 0% fat for a low-calorie option.
- Ensure the jello mixture is fully cooled before adding yogurt and protein powder to prevent curdling.
- You can substitute vanilla protein powder with any preferred flavor, but vanilla complements the strawberry flavor best.
- The dessert is best enjoyed within 24 hours of preparation for optimal texture and taste.
- For a diabetic-friendly dessert, confirm that the sugar-free jello and protein powder contain no added sugars.
