Nutrition Facts

Nutrition is an estimate per serving based on USDA data. Values vary by brand and portion.

Recipe Notes

• Nonfat Greek yogurt gives the highest protein per calorie. 2% works too and tastes richer.
• Adding the powder to the yogurt before any liquid is what prevents lumps.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently, covered, until warmed through.

Meal Prep Tips

Double the batch and portion into single-serve containers while everything is still warm. Cool uncovered for 15 minutes before sealing so condensation does not water down the sauce.

Recipe Variations

• Swap the protein one-for-one with chicken, turkey, shrimp, or extra-firm tofu.
• Add a cup of chopped vegetables to raise the fiber without changing the cook time.
