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
Directions
1. Mix the Ingredients:
Start by combining the Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, and your preferred sweetener in a mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated. The protein powder will help give the mixture a cookie dough-like texture, while the peanut butter adds richness and flavor.
2. Adjust the Consistency:
Depending on the consistency of your Greek yogurt and the type of protein powder you’re using, you may need to adjust the texture of your cookie dough. Gradually add a small amount of milk (any type you prefer) to the mixture, stirring continuously until you reach your desired consistency. The goal is to achieve a thick, dough-like texture that’s easy to scoop and enjoy.
3. Add the Chocolate Chips:
Once the mixture has reached the perfect consistency, fold in the chocolate chips. This adds a delightful crunch and a touch of sweetness to your cookie dough, making it taste just like the real thing.
4. Serve or Store:
Your Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough is now ready to enjoy! You can serve it immediately, or if you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate it for a bit before eating. This recipe makes a single serving, but it’s easy to double or triple if you want to share or save some for later.
