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
Optional
- Milk, as needed to adjust consistency
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, whey protein powder, creamy peanut butter, and your chosen sweetener. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add milk, a small amount at a time, to achieve your desired texture. The amount needed will vary depending on the thickness of the yogurt and protein powder you use. Stir well after each addition.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the cookie dough mixture without melting them.
- Serve or Chill: Enjoy your Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough immediately for a creamy treat, or refrigerate it for a cooler, firmer texture later.
