So, if you’re looking for a delicious, protein-rich snack that’s easy to make, let’s dive into this recipe together!

Types of Yogurt That Work Best:

• Greek Yogurt: This is the best choice for high protein content and a thick consistency. It adds creaminess to the egg bites and enhances their texture.

• Skyr: An Icelandic yogurt that's similar to Greek yogurt but even thicker and higher in protein. It can be a great alternative if you want something with a slightly different flavor.

• Regular Plain Yogurt: If you don’t have Greek or skyr on hand, regular plain yogurt works too, but keep in mind it will be a bit thinner, which might affect the final texture of the egg bites.

• Non-Dairy Yogurt: If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, consider using coconut yogurt or almond yogurt. Make sure to choose a variety that has added protein, as many non-dairy yogurts can be lower in protein content.I’d love to hear from you!
