Key Lime Pie Pudding Jars With Greek Yogurt

These Key Lime Pie Pudding Jars taste just like key lime pie, but they’re made with Greek yogurt so each jar has 12 grams of protein. All you need is one bowl and about 10 minutes to prep with no baking required!

If you loved my High Protein Banana Pudding, these Key Lime Pie Jars with Greek Yogurt are for you. It uses the same creamy Greek yogurt base, but with fresh lime juice and plenty of lime zest for that tangy key lime pie flavour we all know and love.

The secret to these jars is using vanilla pudding mix which thickens the Greek yogurt into a rich and creamy, almost like a key lime cheesecake filling. I layer the filling with Nilla wafers that soften and become cake-like as they sit but you could go for graham crackers if that’s your preference.

These jars are perfect for meal prep too. Make a couple of jars at the start of the week and you’ve got a high-protein snack or dessert ready to grab from the fridge. If you can’t get enough of key lime make sure to also try my Key Lime Pie Overnight Oats for breakfast and my Key Lime Pie Chia Pudding.

Key Ingredients

Greek yogurt: Use 2% plain Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and the biggest protein boost which is the same yogurt I love to use in my Greek Yogurt Tiramisu. If you prefer you can also make this recipe with blended cottage cheese like I use in my Protein Chia Pudding. Just make sure to use a thick cottage cheese for the best texture.

Vanilla pudding mix: This is the secret to that thick, key-lime-filling texture! You only need 1 tablespoon of the dry mix, and it instantly thickens the yogurt. The classic Jello brand is great or for a sugar-free option I like this Simply Desserts pudding mix.

Lime: This recipe calls for lime juice and zest. If you can get your hands on actual key limes, great! If not Persian limes (the regular kind you find at your grocery store) work great. Use any extra limes to meal-prep a batch of Key Lime Pie Energy Balls.

Nilla wafers: These layer in like a graham cracker crust and soften as the jars chill. Graham crackers or gluten-free vanilla cookies both make great swaps.
