Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups thick coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt
- 5 tbsp protein powder (optional)
- 3–4 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- A pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (optional)
- 2 tbsp protein powder (optional, for peanut butter cups)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the peanut butter cups (optional). Melt the chocolate chips in a small bowl and pour a little into mini muffin pans or candy molds. Freeze for a few minutes until firm.
- In another small bowl, mix peanut butter and protein powder (optional). Spoon this mixture over the set chocolate, then top with more melted chocolate. Freeze for an hour or until firm.
- In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and protein powder (if using). Stir until smooth.
- Pour the yogurt mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan or silicone mold. If you made peanut butter cups, chop them up and fold them into the yogurt or sprinkle them on top.
- Freeze the bars for at least 5 hours or until completely solid. Once frozen, let the bars sit for 5–10 minutes at room temperature for easier cutting.
- Slice the bars into even pieces and store in an airtight container in the freezer. For the creamiest texture, let them thaw for a few minutes before eating.
Notes
- Use thick, full-fat yogurt for the best texture. Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt works well.
- The protein powder is optional but adds extra protein and helps with texture.
- For vegan options, use dairy-free yogurt and a plant-based protein powder.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- For easier slicing, run your knife under hot water before cutting the bars.
