  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Incorporate cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  • Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
  • Add Greek yogurt and milk, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough just begins to form.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle approximately 1-inch thick.
  • Cut out 12 rounds using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.

  • Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
