About This Recipe

Make a homemade and high Protein Strawberry Shortcake in 10 minutes or less! This easy and healthy dessert recipe is as good as it looks.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Strawberries
  Fresh or frozen
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 squirt (1-2) Lemon Juice
• 1.5 cups Greek Yogurt
  Vanilla or strawberry
• 2 scoops Protein Powder
• 0.5 cup Whipped Topping
  Sugar free; optional for more calorie friendly volume
• 1 piece Angel Food Cake
  Or other shortcake base (pound or sponge cake, scones, biscuits, shortbread cookies, wafers, cornbread)

Instructions

1. Wash and chop up your strawberries.
2. Add them into a mixing bowl with your honey and lemon juice.
3. Let them sit for 10 minutes to macerate (macerating is just a fancy word for tossing fruit with sugar or honey and letting it sit; the sweetener draws out the fruit's juices, creating a natural syrup).
4. In another mixing bowl, mix together your Greek yogurt, protein powder, and whipped topping until smooth.
5. Choose or make your shortcake base (angel food cake, pound cake, sponge cake, scones, biscuits, shortbread cookies, wafers, cornbread, etc.).
6. Add your shortcake base into the bottom of whatever you're going to eat it out of. Break or crush up whatever you're using for the best texture in every bite.
7. Top your base with some of your chopped up strawberries.
8. Top your strawberries with your Greek yogurt mix.
9. Repeat for more layers.
