I love a quick sweet bite, and Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough is my go-to for that. I make it when I want a safe snack that tastes like dessert but feels good to eat, and I often share it with friends who stop by.
Your Ingredients List
- 180 grams Greek yogurt
- 15 grams whey protein powder (vanilla, cookie dough, or unflavored)
- 20 grams peanut butter (creamy)
- Sweetener of choice, to taste
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips
My Go-To Equipment
I keep a small bowl and a spoon ready for this recipe. I also like a small whisk when the yogurt is thick. I use the same style bowl when I make Greek yogurt bagels because it cleans easily.
The Simple Steps to Follow
- Combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, and sweetener in a bowl.
- Stir until the mix is smooth and creamy.
- Add a little milk if the texture is too thick and stir again.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
- Taste and add more sweetener if needed.
- Serve right away or chill for a cool snack.
Healthy Twists on a Classic
You can swap peanut butter for almond butter to change the nut flavor. Use a plant based protein powder for a dairy free option. For a frozen treat, spread on a tray and break into pieces like healthy cookie dough bark.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I scoop the cookie dough onto apple slices or graham crackers for a fun bite. It also pairs well with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey for a light dessert.
Getting It Just Right
Start with less sweetener and add small amounts until it tastes right to you. If the mix gets too thin, add a touch more protein powder. Keep the chips small so they fold in easily.
How to Store Leftovers
Put leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Eat within three days for best taste and texture.
Enjoy Every Moment
I eat this straight from the bowl on busy nights. It feels like a small treat that still fits my day.
A Few Common Questions
Can I make Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough without whey protein?
Yes. You can leave out the whey protein and add a bit more yogurt to keep the texture. The snack will still taste good and stay creamy.
How long will Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough last in the fridge?
Keep it in a sealed container and eat within three days. After that the texture and taste change and I discard it.
Can I freeze Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough?
You can freeze it in small portions. Thaw in the fridge before serving and stir well to bring back the texture.
