High Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt

If you’ve never turned plain yogurt into a chocolaty treat, you’re in for something special today! Greek yogurt and protein powder make a protein-packed treat!

This is my favorite healthy way to get my chocolate fix without extra sugar. It has the best creamy texture and is way more filling than pudding. The protein + fats keep you fuller for longer, too!

A half scoop of chocolate protein powder is what sweetens the plain Greek yogurt. If you want sweeter yogurt, you can always add a little bit of maple syrup or honey.

High protein healthy dessert – Call it a snack or dessert, either way, it’s delicious and an easy way for you to get 29 grams of protein in. We’ve enjoyed this homemade chocolate yogurt for breakfast with our favorite toppings, too – fresh berries and chocolate granola for a yummy crunch are delish! I love it as an alternative to protein shakes after a lifting session.

Yogurt options

If I am using full fat greek yogurt, I like to use powdered peanut butter to balance the fats in this recipe, but you can absolutely use your favorite greek yogurt here.

Sometimes I use non-fat yogurt, and then I’ll opt to use natural peanut butter to ensure I’m getting healthy fats in my snack.

You can mix and match and use the option that you like best – either is an excellent choice!

How to store

Make a big batch of high protein Greek yogurt and then store it in an airtight container.

You can use 1 large container, or prepare individual small servings so that when a chocolate craving hits you can grab and enjoy it!

Substitutions, optional variations & dietary adjustments

Below you’ll find a list of substitutions that will work well in this healthy high protein chocolate yogurt recipe. 

If you try something different out, please leave a comment below letting us all know how it turned out!

Whole-milk Greek yogurt – You have different options to pick based on your goals and nutrition needs. A plain nonfat Greek yogurt works well here as well. If you want to use a dairy-free yogurt, you can! Look for one that is thicker to start with, as a regular yogurt that is runnier will not leave you with a creamy texture. Blended cottage cheese is another great option because of its high protein content. The actual amount of protein will vary slightly based on the type of yogurt you use.

Chocolate whey protein powder – A vegan protein powder can be used here as well. If you only have a vanilla protein powder, you can use that. Simply add more cocoa powder to the yogurt mixture so that you still end up with the deep chocolate flavor.

Unsweetened cocoa powder – Cacao powder is a good option for this sweet treat. Want an option without the chocolate flavor? Try this peanut butter protein yogurt!

Peanut butter powder – Natural peanut butter will work here as well! Other kinds of nut butters, like almond butter and cashew butter, would be a delicious way to try different flavors.
