Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl

Ingredients
  

Basic Version:

  • ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder (see notes for substitutions)
  • 1½ tbsp peanut butter substitute with almond or cashew butter
  • 1½ to 2 tbsp Greek yogurt adjust based on consistency
  • 2 tsp sugar-free chocolate chips

Optional Add-ins:

  • Pinch of salt if using unsalted nut butter
  • 1 to 2 tsp maple syrup especially if protein powder is unflavored or bitter

Instructions
 

  • Soften Peanut Butter: If your peanut butter is thick or solid, microwave it for 15–30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  • Mix Base Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, softened peanut butter, and 1½ tablespoons of Greek yogurt. Add maple syrup and a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Form Dough: Mix using a fork or spatula until a dough forms. If it appears dry, add up to ½ tablespoon more Greek yogurt and mix again.
  • Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips or other mix-ins.
  • Serve or Chill: Enjoy immediately as a soft dough, or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up for snackable bites.
