Let’s be real — we all crave a little something sweet. But instead of diving into a tub of raw cookie dough (hello, sugar crash), what if you could satisfy your sweet tooth and fuel your body at the same time? This protein cookie dough is exactly that: indulgent taste, better-for-you ingredients, and absolutely no baking required.
Why You’ll Love My High Protein Cookie Dough:
- ✅ High in protein to help you stay full and fuel recovery
- ✅ No raw eggs or flour, so it’s totally safe to eat straight from the bowl
- ✅ Cottage cheese base makes it ultra creamy with a protein boost (you won’t taste it!)
- ✅ Takes 5 minutes to make, no baking required
- ✅ Customizable — swap in peanut butter, add sea salt, or try different mix-ins
- ✅ Perfect for meal prep — stores well in the fridge for up to 5 days
Here are the Main Ingredients you will Need:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
In a blender, combine cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the protein powder and almond flour; mix until fully incorporated.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Recipe Notes/Modifications:
- I recommend the brand Pescience Select one for protein powder, for this recipe use the Vanilla Gourmet flavour!
- If you want a low fat option, sub part of the almond flour with oat flour (lower in fat, higher in carbs). Macros will differ.
- Serving: Enjoy as-is, roll into balls, or spread over rice cakes or toast.
- Store in air tight container for up to 5 days.
