Sometimes you want something sweet without baking an entire tray of cookies or turning dessert into a full production.

This high-protein cookie dough takes a few minutes to make and gives you that thick, creamy cookie-batter texture while packing in 50 grams of protein.

Ingredients

• 200g Greek yoghurt
• 12g powdered peanut butter
• 1 scoop protein powder of choice
• 15g maple syrup
• 10g chocolate chips
• Pinch of salt

Method

Add the Greek yoghurt, powdered peanut butter, protein powder and maple syrup to a bowl. Mix until thick and smooth, then fold through most of the chocolate chips. Spoon into a serving bowl and finish with the remaining chocolate chips and a small pinch of salt.

Pro Tips:

A whey and casein blend will usually create a thicker cookie-dough texture, but any protein powder will work. Add a small splash of water if the mixture becomes too thick, or leave it in the fridge for 10 minutes if you prefer it firmer.

Vegan protein powder will need a little more water, but yield a better overall texture.

Enjoy!
