Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the protein puff pastry sheets into equal-sized rectangles, approximately 10cm by 5cm. You'll need three rectangles per serving.
Place the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet. Prick each rectangle lightly with a fork to prevent them from puffing too much while baking.
Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and place a second baking tray on top to keep the pastry flat. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
While the pastry is baking, prepare the high-protein pastry cream. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and protein powder until smooth.
Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is well combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
Remove from heat. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly, then whisk in the Greek yogurt until smooth. Place the cream in the refrigerator to cool completely.
Once the pastry rectangles are baked and cooled, assemble the millefeuille by spreading a layer of protein pastry cream on one piece of pastry.
Repeat the process until you have three layers of pastry and two layers of cream per serving.
Dust the top layer with powdered sweetener. Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves before serving.
