Method
Mix the yogurt base
Spoon the Greek yogurt into a bowl. Add the vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt. Stir everything together firmly until the protein powder is fully combined with no dry lumps remaining. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
Add the nut butter
Drop the peanut or almond butter on top of the yogurt mixture. If you are adding honey, drizzle it in now. Stir gently to swirl it through the yogurt. You do not need to mix it in completely since leaving a little swirl gives it a nice look and pockets of flavour.
Taste and adjust
Give the bowl a taste. If you want it sweeter add a touch more honey. If you want more of that cookie dough flavour add a tiny extra pinch of salt. Protein powders vary a lot in sweetness so adjusting here makes a real difference.
Top and serve
Scatter the mini chocolate chips over the top of the bowl. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, adding the chocolate chips just before eating. Enjoy it cold straight from the bowl.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use flavoured Greek yogurt instead of plain?
You can, but vanilla or plain works best here because flavoured yogurts are often already very sweet. If you use flavoured yogurt, skip the honey and taste before adding the protein powder since it might be sweet enough already.
Which protein powder works best in this recipe?
A vanilla whey or casein protein powder blends smoothly into yogurt and tastes closest to cookie dough. Plant-based powders work too but some have a grainier texture so look for a finer blend if that matters to you.
Is this actually filling enough as a full breakfast?
Yes, for most people it is. Between the Greek yogurt, protein powder, and nut butter you are getting a solid amount of protein and fat. If you are especially hungry in the mornings just add some rolled oats or eat it alongside a piece of fruit.
Can kids eat this too?
Absolutely. Leave out the protein powder if you prefer and it is just a fun yogurt bowl that genuinely tastes like cookie dough. My kids ask for it regularly and I never feel bad saying yes.
