Step Three: Chill the Fluff
Once all the ingredients are well blended, pour the mixture into a dish and refrigerate for at least two hours, until the mixture is fully set. Garnish with sugar free whipped topping and fresh strawberries, if desired.
Can You Make Protein Fluff Ahead of Time?
This healthy dessert is great for meal prepping because you can easily make it ahead and enjoy it later! The dish needs at least two hours to set before you can eat it, but it can be made up to one day in advance. You can keep the dish in the refrigerator overnight, if needed.
Avoid adding the garnish to the fluff until you're ready to serve it. The whipped topping will begin to melt the longer it sits on top of the dish.
How Do I Store Protein Fluff?
This healthy dessert should be stored in the refrigerator after you're finished serving it. To keep a film from forming over the fluff, make sure to cover the serving bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the leftovers to an airtight container. It will stay good for up to four days in the fridge.
Make it easy to grab a heathy snack on the go by storing the fluff in individual servings. After mixing the fluff ingredients, pour the mixture into small cups or jars and store them in the fridge.
It's not recommended that you freeze your protein fluff salad. The ingredients will begin to separate and become watery as the dessert thaws.
Protein Fluff Recipe Ideas
You're going to love this delicious protein packed dessert! And since there are so many ways to adjust the recipe, you can whip up a new amazing sweet treat each week. Try these recipe substitutions and swaps to help satisfy your sweet tooth without going off track.
- Add some protein powder. Making your fluff with Greek yogurt is a great way to add tons of protein to your dessert. But if you want to add even more protein to your fluff, mix a scoop of vanilla protein powder into yogurt and Jello mixture. Make sure to stir the ingredients together until all the powder is fully mixed in.
- Use different Jello flavors. Strawberry is just the beginning of the flavor options when it comes to this easy protein fluff! You can use any flavor of sugar free Jello you want to create different desserts! Some great options to start with are orange, black cherry, lemon, and raspberry.
- Make it with flavored Greek yogurt. Take the flavor of your dessert to the next level by matching the flavor of your Jello with the flavor of your Greek yogurt. Swap out the plain Greek yogurt for your favorite sugar-free strawberry yogurt for extra strawberry flavor.
- Try it with pudding mix. Looking for a flavor that isn't fruit based? You can also make this fluff recipe with sugar free pudding mix. Don't prepare the pudding! Instead, mix two tablespoons of the sugar free pudding mix powder with your Greek yogurt for a quick and easy sweet treat. Try using chocolate, vanilla, cheesecake, or lemon pudding mix!
- Add some fresh fruit. Mix a small amount of fresh fruit into your fluff for added flavor. Keep in mind that fruit will add some naturally occurring sugars and carbs to your dessert, so the macros will change!
- Garnish with your favorite toppings. In addition to sugar free whipped topping and fresh fruit, there are so many fun ways to add more flavor to your dessert with toppings! Try some sugar free chocolate chips, honey or maple syrup, granola or your favorite sugar free cereal, graham cracker crumbs, or crushed cookies.

Notes
• You can use other jello flavors and other yogurt flavors, but this could change the nutritional information, so just be aware of that aspect.
• Adding fruit will add sugar, so it’s completely up to you if you add it in.
• Just as a heads up, if you don’t like Greek yogurt, it’s possible you won’t like this either, since the yogurt flavor isn’t masked well. Adding fruit helps mask the yogurt flavor, but not completely.
