Tips & FAQs

Can I use bottled lemon juice?

Fresh lemon juice provides the brightest flavor, but bottled lemon juice can be used if needed.

Yes. In fact, they’re even better after chilling overnight, making them ideal for entertaining or weekly meal prep.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely. Simply use certified gluten-free graham crackers or digestive biscuits for the crust.

How can I make these even higher in protein?

Add an extra ½ cup of plain nonfat Greek yogurt or mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder. If using protein powder, add a splash of milk if needed to maintain a smooth consistency.
