Instructions

Slice the tops off the strawberries and trim a small sliver from the bottom of each to make them stand upright.
Carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry using a small spoon, paring knife, or metal teaspoon. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to whip until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the protein powder and mix with a spoon or the hand mixer until fully combined and smooth.
Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one corner cut off. Pipe the filling into each hollowed strawberry until full. Alternatively, spoon the filling in if needed.
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the stuffed strawberries. Store immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Choose large, firm strawberries for better presentation and easier filling.
Chill the stuffed strawberries for a refreshing treat, especially during warm weather.
Feel free to experiment with different flavors of protein powder!
