A quick and easy healthy snack that delivers the nostalgic creamy cookie dough flavor packed with protein and wholesome ingredients. Perfect for dipping fruit, crackers, or enjoying by the spoonful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 g) low-fat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (small-curd preferred)
  • 1/3 cup (30 g) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g) creamy almond or peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (45 g) mini dark chocolate chips or dairy-free chips
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon (10 g) ground flaxseed or chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Measure out Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, protein powder, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Ensure the Greek yogurt or cottage cheese is cold but not frozen.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt (1 cup) and protein powder (1/3 cup). Blend with a hand mixer or whisk on medium speed until smooth and lump-free, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of almond or peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup. Mix for another 1-2 minutes until richer and slightly more fluid.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well and taste to adjust sweetness if needed.
  5. Gently fold in 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  6. If desired, fold in 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
  7. Refrigerate the dip for at least 20 minutes to firm up and meld flavors.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature with fruit slices, graham crackers, or your favorite dippers.

Notes

Use room-temperature nut butter for easier mixing. Let Greek yogurt or cottage cheese sit out for 10 minutes before blending to soften. Fold in chocolate chips gently to avoid breaking. Adjust sweetness to taste. For a thinner dip, add almond milk; for thicker, add more protein powder. Can be made vegan by using plant-based protein powder, coconut yogurt, agave nectar, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
