High Protein Strawberry Shortcakes

INGREDIENTS:

 Shortcakes:

• 3 scoops Garden of Life SPORT Certified Grass Fed Whey Vanilla 
• 1 cup pastry flour
• 1/4 cup (50g) date sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup (180g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 412g plain nonfat Greek Yogurt

Filling:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

 Coconut Whipped Cream:

• 1 (14-ounce) can coconut cream or full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
• 1/4 cup stevia
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Mix all dry shortcake ingredients
3. Add cold, cubed butter and mix together with your hands until thoroughly combined and crumbly
4. Add Greek Yogurt and gently mix until fully combined, but don’t over-mix (there should still be little bits of cold butter in with the mixture)
5. Pour batter into lined and greased muffin tins
6. Bake for 18 mins or until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean
7. Meanwhile, prepare coconut whipped cream. In a standing mixer, whip chilled coconut cream (just the solids - save the liquids for smoothies!) until thick and fluffy. Add stevia and vanilla extract and beat on high for 5 minutes or until stiff peaks have formed. Chill in fridge
8. Once shortcakes are ready, allow them to cool completely, then gently remove them from their wrapping, cut in half and fill with whipped cream and strawberries
9. Enjoy!
