Ingredients
Ingredients
- 180 grams Greek yogurt
- 15 grams whey protein powder (vanilla, cookie dough, or unflavored)
- 20 grams creamy peanut butter
- Sweetener of choice, to taste (e.g. honey, maple syrup, stevia)
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips
- Optional: milk, as needed to adjust consistency
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, whey protein powder, creamy peanut butter, and your chosen sweetener. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, gradually add a small amount of milk while stirring until the desired, cookie dough-like texture is achieved. The exact amount will vary depending on the thickness of your yogurt and protein powder.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture, giving it that classic cookie dough crunch and sweetness.
- Serve or Chill: You can enjoy the cookie dough immediately for a soft and creamy treat, or refrigerate it for a chilled, firmer texture. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within a couple of days.
Notes
- Use a sweetener that suits your dietary preferences and sweetness level.
- If you prefer a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder.
- Adding milk is optional; adjust based on desired texture.
- Store refrigerated for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
- Chocolate chips add texture and flavor; you can substitute with chopped nuts or dried fruit.
