  • In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, protein powder, and honey until smooth.
    Shape the mixture into a thick cookie and place it on a small piece of parchment paper.
    Spread the peanut butter over the top and freeze for one hour.  

Chocolate Topping

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 15 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter layer.

    Enjoy straight from the freezer for a creamy, chewy, snickers-inspired treat!
    Here are a couple of extra tips to make the BEST protein cookies ever.
    Make these no-bake cookies with vanilla, chocolate or unflavored protein powder. These are simple flavors that won’t spoil the taste profile.
    Opt for smooth and creamy nut butter. If the nut butter is too thick, you will have a hard time mixing the dough.
    Customize your fitness cookies with extra chocolate chips, chopped nuts, seeds, raisins or dried cranberries.
    Allow the cookies to rest in the fridge for at least half an hour before eating. This way they will get the perfect taste and texture.
