Pierogi Bowls

Pierogi Bowls

With all the comforting flavors of traditional pierogies in a lighter, protein-packed bowl, this recipe was created by special request for a friend!  The composition of these Pierogi Bowls boosts satiety and supports muscle retention with extra protein, while creamy Greek yogurt replaces sour cream for the same rich texture with better nutrition. Added vegetables increase fiber to help promote fullness and support stable blood sugar levels. It’s a satisfying way to enjoy classic pierogi flavors without the heavy dough.
