How to Make Protein Yogurt Clusters

These low carb yogurt clusters are super easy to throw together, making them a great snack to have on hand.

First, combine the yogurt, sunflower seed butter, protein powder and vanilla. Fold in the strawberries.

Making the filling

Use a large cookie scoop or spoon to scoop the mixture onto a lined baking sheet. Each cluster is about 2 rounded tablespoons in size, making 11-12 clusters.

Next, place the strawberry clusters in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm. The clusters need to be fully frozen in order to dip them in dark chocolate.

Once the clusters are frozen, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil. You can either melt the chocolate in the microwave at 20 second intervals, or over the stove top on low heat.

Remove the protein yogurt clusters from the freezer and dip them, one at a time, into the melted chocolate.

Place the dipped clusters back on the lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with flaked sea salt. The salt is optional, but adds a nice flavor and crunch.

Once all of the fillings are dipped, eat immediately or place back in the freezer.

Storage

Keep these protein yogurt clusters in an air-tight container or baggie in the freezer. They last well up to one month. Before eating, let the clusters defrost for 5-10 minutes to soften.

FAQ

Can I use something other than strawberries in the clusters?
