The Sweet-Salty-Crunchy Bowl You Need Right Now
This High-Protein Strawberry Pretzel Salad Bowl takes everything you love about the classic strawberry pretzel salad and turns it into a healthy, protein-packed bowl you can eat any time of day. Greek yogurt replaces the cream cheese layer for a big protein boost, and the combination of sweet strawberries, creamy yogurt, and salty crunchy pretzels is absolutely addictive. This one disappears fast — make a double batch.
Ingredients
- Pretzel layer: 1 cup mini pretzels, lightly crushed + 2 tbsp melted butter + 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Cream layer: 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt + 3 tbsp honey + 1 tsp vanilla
- Strawberry layer: 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced + 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Toast pretzels: Toss mini pretzels with melted butter and brown sugar. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 8 minutes. Cool completely.
- Make cream layer: Whisk Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
- Prepare strawberries: Toss sliced strawberries with honey and let macerate 10 minutes.
- Assemble: Divide yogurt mixture between bowls. Top with macerated strawberries and toasted pretzel crunch.
- Serve immediately or keep pretzel layer on the side to stay crunchy.
Tips & Variations
- Protein boost: Use 2% or full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and most protein.
- Make it ahead: Prep all three components separately. Assemble just before serving for maximum crunch.
- Berry swap: Blueberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry blend all work beautifully here.
- Extra crunch: Add sliced almonds or granola alongside the pretzels.
