1 premade 1 9 inch graham cracker crust
1 1/2 cups cool whip (half a regular tub)
250 g nonfat greek yogurt
4 scoops protein powder (flavors depending on what kind of pie youre making. Will also be listed in specific sections DO NOT DOUBLE UP)

2 scoops strawberry protein (substitute with more vanilla if you dont have strawberry flavor)
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I used specifically vanilla icing flavor)
1/2 package strawberry sugar free jello mix (to taste. You could also add some cheesecake pudding mix for a more strawberry cheesecake flavor)
4 chopped up strawberries (mixin)

For smores:

2 scoops smores protein powder (can substitute for a chocolate flavor)
2 scoops marshmallow protein powder (can substitute for vanilla or more smores/protein flavored powder in the highly likely event you dont have this flavor)
4 tbs marshmallow creme (spread for bottom of pie. Use amount to get to preferred thickness)
Graham crumbs (topping)
Chocolate chips, shaved chocolate, or chopped chocolate (topping)
Mini marshmallows (topping)

Directions

For Single Filling Flavor

1
Prepare/chop any mixins or toppings you plan to add in
2
If using a recipe that has a sauce cream or butter on the bottom of the pie dollop that now onto the pie and spread evenly adding enough to get to desired thickness.
3
Add yogurt, coolwhip, protein powder, pudding mix, amd sweetener to a bowl. Mix until eveything is smoothly blended together
4
Add any mixins into the mixing bowl and stir until mixins are spread throughout the mixture
5
Pour the mixture into the pie dish and spread evenly throughout the pie.
6
Add any toppings on to the top
7
Place in the freezer. Let sit for at least a couple hours to solidify. As a yogurt base it will not keep shape at refrigerator temp but will turn rock solid when its completely frozen.
8
If in the freezer for an extended time put in the fridge for an hour or two ahead of time to thaw to preferred level of thawing.

For Multiple Filling Flavors

9
Prepare/chop any mixins or toppings you plan to add in
10

12
Seperate equally(unless specified otherwise) into 2 or more bowls depending on how many flavors of the filling there will be.

14

15
Pour one of the bowls of mixture into the pie dish and spread evenly throughout the dish.
16
Either very very carefully add the second mixture and spread evenly throughout the mix or place the pie in the freezer to solidify for a couple hours before attempting this step. If there are more than two flavors of filling repeat this step for each
17
Add any toppings on to the top
18

Note

Adjust to your hearts desire. If you look closely at the strawberry one you'll notice the crust is kind of jacked up. I initially tried mixing everything in the crust itself. Don't do that. It messed the crust up then messed it up even more when I transferred it to a bowl to finish mixing so just use a separate bowl to mix everything then add it.

The most annoying part of this is getting the right consistency based on freezer and fridge times since it's Greek Yogurt based it doesn't set up at fridge temperatures and is rock solid when frozen so you have to freeze then let it thaw or freeze for just the right amount of time
