Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

  • 23 tablespoons milk or almond milk
  • Optional toppings:
  • 1/4 cup granola
  • Sliced banana or berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup (240 ml) of plain Greek yogurt.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons (32 g) of natural peanut butter. If thick, warm slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds to ease mixing.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon (5 g) of unsweetened cocoa powder. Sift if clumpy or whisk well.
  5. Mix in 1 scoop (about 30 g) of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
  6. Add 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) of milk or almond milk to loosen the mixture if needed. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional). Taste and adjust sweetness.
  8. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  9. Transfer to serving bowl or jar and add desired toppings such as granola, sliced banana, crushed nuts, or chocolate shavings.
  10. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add crunchy toppings just before serving to maintain texture.
