Base 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
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, and your chosen sweetener. Stir until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, gradually add milk, one teaspoon at a time, to achieve your desired texture. The amount of milk needed depends on the thickness of the yogurt and protein powder used.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture to add texture and bursts of chocolate flavor.
- Serve or Chill: Enjoy the cookie dough immediately for a soft, creamy treat, or refrigerate it for 30 minutes for a cooler, firmer texture before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
- Adjust sweetness according to preference using natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or a low-calorie alternative.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based Greek-style yogurt and protein powder powder.
- If you want a thicker consistency, skip adding milk and refrigerate longer.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
