Begin by peeling the garlic cloves. If you prefer a more subtle garlic flavor, you can reduce the amount of garlic used.
Using a garlic press or a fine grater, finely mince the garlic cloves into a small bowl. Alternatively, you can use a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic into a paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and unflavored whey protein powder. Stir until the protein powder is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Add the minced garlic to the yogurt and protein mixture. Stir until the garlic is evenly distributed.
Next, add the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice to the bowl. These ingredients will add flavor and help to smooth out the texture of the yogurt.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl. You can substitute with other fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro if desired.
Season the yogurt mixture with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Start with the recommended amount and adjust as needed.
If the yogurt is too thick for your preference, add water a teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Once all the ingredients are combined, taste the yogurt and adjust seasoning or lemon juice as needed.
Transfer the High Protein Garlic Yogurt to a serving dish or airtight container for storage. It can be served immediately or chilled for an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a delicious dip with vegetables, bread, or use as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.
