Ingredients

For the Protein Fluff:

• 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (nonfat or full-fat, depending on preference)
• 1 scoop cookies and cream protein powder (or vanilla protein powder)
• 2 tablespoons almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3–4 drops liquid stevia or 1–2 teaspoons honey/maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

For the Cookies and Cream Topping:

• 2–3 sandwich cookies (like Oreos or gluten-free alternatives), crushed
• 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 tablespoon whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Protein Fluff Base

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
2. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and slightly fluffy. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional teaspoon of almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
3. Taste the fluff and adjust sweetness if needed by adding liquid stevia, honey, or maple syrup. Mix well.

Step 2: Crush the Cookies

1. Place the sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into small chunks using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon. Leave some larger pieces for texture and crunch.

Step 3: Assemble the Dish

1. Spoon the protein fluff into a serving bowl or jar.
2. Sprinkle the crushed cookies evenly over the top of the fluff.
3. Add mini chocolate chips for extra indulgence, if desired.
4. For an extra touch of decadence, dollop a small spoonful of whipped cream on top.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Grab a spoon and dig into this creamy, crunchy, protein-packed treat!
2. Pair with a glass of cold milk or enjoy it as-is for a quick and satisfying snack.

Tips for Success

• Protein Powder Substitution: If you don’t have cookies and cream protein powder, use vanilla protein powder and mix in ½ teaspoon of cocoa powder for a similar flavor profile.
• Dairy-Free Option: Swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt alternative (like coconut or almond yogurt) and use dairy-free protein powder and cookies.
• Low-Sugar Option: Use sugar-free protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, and low-sugar cookies to keep the carb count lower.
• Meal Prep-Friendly: Prepare the protein fluff base in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add the cookie topping just before serving to maintain crunch.
