Protein-packed vegetarian-friendly snack!

A few months ago, my doctor was on me about not getting enough protein in my diet. I've been a vegetarian since age 5 and my parents didn't always know how to cater to a vegetarian's unique dietary needs, so low protein is something I've struggled with for quite some time. With that in mind, my doctor told me about a snack (or even meal) that she fixes to get her protein: plain Greek yogurt with flavored protein powder. I just mixed a packet of Meijer's Rich Chocolate Whey & Soy Protein (120 calories, 25g protein) with plain non-fat Chobani Greek yogurt (100 calories, 18g protein), and was pleasantly surprised by the results. It took on the consistency of pudding, and the flavor wasn't too bad. I even popped it in the freezer for a few minutes because it was getting a little too lukewarm for me, and when I took it out it was more like chocolate frozen yogurt. Granted, it still has the tang of Greek yogurt, but when you look at the nutritional benefits (a total of 220 calories, 43g protein) it's well worth it, in my opinion. Mix some up and enjoy the protein boost!
