Greek Yogurt “Soft Serve”
A high-protein, low-calorie swap for ice cream that takes two minutes, no blender required. This quick freezer trick turns Greek yogurt into a thick, creamy, soft-serve–style treat that satisfies a sweet tooth without the sugar crash.
If you're craving ice cream, here’s my go-to “Jen-approved” swap that tastes shockingly close but gives you way fewer calories, more protein, and that same cold-creamy hit your brain is asking for.
Ingredients:

- ½ teaspoon cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ to 1 teaspoon honey (optional, to taste)
Optional Add-Ins:

Directions:
- Add the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a bowl.
- Sweeten with honey if using.
- Stir very well, almost whipping it, until smooth and creamy.
- Place the bowl in the freezer for 10–15 minutes, until it thickens and reaches a cold, soft-serve texture.
- Remove from the freezer and enjoy immediately.
