Let me tell you – this high-protein tzatziki is one of those recipes I always keep in my fridge. It’s creamy, refreshing, packed with flavor, and loaded with protein thanks to 0% Greek yogurt. I use it on everything – dips, bowls, wraps, grilled meats – you name it.
If you’re trying to eat more protein, finding little ways to sneak it in makes a huge difference. This tzatziki checks all the boxes: easy, tasty, and good for you.
What You’ll Need:
• 2 cups 0% Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup fresh chopped dill
• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cucumber, peeled, grated, and squeezed to get the water out
• Juice of half a lemon
• Salt & pepper, to taste
Why I Love Adding High-Protein Dips Like This
As a bodybuilder, I’m aware of all the usual staples, hot sauce, mustard, and the other low calorie sauces I can find at the store. Thing is, most sauces have hidden oils, sugar, or just a massive ingredient list that won’t help me achieve my goals. When I started making my own high protein sauces it was a game changer!
High-protein Dips & Sauces help you:
• Add creaminess and protein to your meals
• Stay full longer
• Balance out snacks like veggies or crackers
• Make any boring meal instantly taste better
I’ve even used this as a base for creamy salad dressings or tossed it with roasted veggies…. Soo good!
Make It in Bulk – Thank Yourself Later
If there’s one tip I swear by, it’s this: make your tzatziki in bulk. It takes maybe 10 minutes, and having it ready in the fridge makes healthy eating so much easier during the week.
Here’s how I use it:
• On top of rice bowls (my go-to)
• As a dip for veggies or pita chips
• With grilled chicken, fish, or tofu
• In wraps, sandwiches
• As a spread on toast with sliced cucumbers and chili flakes (don’t knock it ’til you try it!)
It lasts around a week in the fridge, and the flavours actually get better after a day or two.
This tzatziki is a staple in my weekly meal prep. It’s simple, it’s satisfying, and it makes everything taste better – while also helping you hit your protein goals. Win-win.
If you make it, tag me – I’d love to see how you use it! 💚
