Greek Yogurt Protein Bar

As by now everyone knows that Greek yogurt is much better for you than regular yogurt. It has double the protein, less sugar, and around the same amount of calories!

Here’s a comparison:

6oz Fage Greek Yogurt 0%

  • Calories: 100
  • Sugars: 7g
  • Protein: 18g

6oz Yoplait Fat Free Plain

  • Calories: 98
  • Sugars: 11.25
  • Protein: 9g

Crazy right? No- this is NOT a sponsored post. I just love Greek yogurt and it’s the only kind I will buy, and those comparisons are the reason for that. For the same amount of calories I can have double the protein and less sugar? Sign me up!

So here is a recipe with Greek Yogurt for you to try out!

Original recipe can be found on The Lean Green Bean. This is how I made mine…

  3. Place mixture into the foil pan, and spread out evenly.
  4. Cover with saran wrap and place in freezer
  5. Freeze until the mixture is solid
  6. Remove from freezer and let it thaw for about 5 minutes, or until you can cut it.

Hi! I'm Bree

In my day-job, I teach amazing individuals how to make money with their blog and social media! I started blogging back in 2010 as a hobby, and it turned into my dream job—helping women make their own money on their own terms. Blogging became a job that I love—now, I’m back to use this online journal as a fun place to document my life so I can look back 20 years from now and remember all the magical things. 

I use baking as a way
to de-stress...

And I love to play hostess and make my guests fabulous cocktails...
