This Low Calorie Focaccia Bread is just 47 calories and has 2.6g of protein per slice!
Because of the added protein, this focaccia bread is a tiny bit denser than a traditional “airy” focaccia bread. But I found it just as delicious, so much healthier, and completely crave-worthy!
This healthy Focaccia Bread is easy and delicious. It makes a wonderful side dish for chicken, soups, and salads.

As I noted above, I added lots of protein with the help of Greek Yogurt. It takes the place of all the oil and butter, making this a healthy version that is low calorie and low fat.
It does change the “airy” quality of the bread a little, and I noted that above and below as I do not want anyone to be surprised by this.
This will be a slightly denser Focaccia, but it is so yummy and easy to make, I think the denser quality is so much better (and it’s just 47 calories, bonus!)
