Chef's Note
For the best texture and flavor, choose crisp apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. The protein powder and Greek yogurt boost the protein content significantly while maintaining a delicious taste. If preparing in advance, brush the apple slices with a bit more lemon juice to keep them fresh and prevent browning.
