This Strawberry Dry Protein Yogurt Ball is thick, creamy, and coated in chocolate — yet made with simple ingredients and impressive macros. One single ball delivers 28 grams of protein for only ~185 calories, making it a satisfying, high-protein treat that’s lower in lactose and sugar.
Thanks to the straining process (similar to labneh), this recipe creates a “dry yogurt” texture that’s rich and spreadable, almost like cream cheese or mascarpone — without the heaviness.
What Is Dry Yogurt?
Dry yogurt is essentially strained yogurt (labneh). By removing much of the whey, the yogurt becomes thicker, smoother, and more concentrated. This process naturally lowers lactose and creates a dense, creamy texture that works perfectly for high-protein desserts.
Ingredients
-
¾ cup Greek yogurt
-
2 tsp pitaya (dragon fruit) powder
-
1 scoop Bethany’s Pantry Digestive Support Protein – Strawberry (essential for thickening; this protein absorbs more liquid than standard powders)
-
3 Tbsp unsweetened chocolate, melted (for coating)
Directions
n a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, pitaya powder, and Digestive Support Protein – Strawberry until smooth.
Line a bowl with 2–3 clean paper towels and spoon the mixture into the center.
Gather the paper towels to form a ball and place back into the bowl.
Refrigerate overnight to allow excess whey to strain out.
The next day, remove the yogurt ball from the paper towels and gently reshape if needed.
Melt the chocolate and pour over the yogurt ball to coat.
Refrigerate for 1–2 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
Slice and enjoy chilled.

Recipe Note
- Protein matters: This recipe relies on Bethany’s Pantry Digestive Support Protein – Strawberry for both texture and protein content. Other protein powders will not absorb liquid the same way.
- Lactose note: Straining removes much of the whey, making this lower in lactose than regular yogurt.
- Chocolate coating: Use unsweetened chocolate for the lowest sugar option.
- Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
