This high protein dessert is an easy twist on apple turnovers! If you eat dairy, plain nonfat Greek yogurt is a great source of lean protein. One cup of yogurt packs 23 grams of protein! Protein is not only important for muscle maintenance and growth, but is used in every cell in the body. This recipe is not only delicious, but will also fill you up with protein from the Greek yogurt and egg whites.
