This is the bark I built specifically to make cookies-and-cream feel like it belongs in a high-protein lineup. The protein powder folds right into the yogurt base, so it's not an afterthought, it's actually doing real work toward your protein for the day.

The crushed cookies give it that classic cookies-and-cream crunch, and the chocolate drizzle on top ties the whole thing together. Grab three pieces at a time and it eats like a real snack, not a bite.

Cookies-and-Cream Protein Bark

Cookies-and-cream protein bark built on a protein yogurt base with crushed sugar-free cookies and a chocolate drizzle on top.

Prep 10 min

Cook No cook

Total 3 hrs 10 min

Yield 5 servings (3 pieces each)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat)
1 1/2 scoops (about 45g) vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons allulose or monk fruit sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies, roughly crushed
1 oz sugar-free dark or white chocolate, melted

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla together until completely smooth, this will thicken up as the protein powder absorbs, whisk until no dry streaks remain.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the parchment, about 1/4 inch thick.
Scatter the crushed cookies evenly over the top and press in lightly.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over everything.
Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until solid all the way through.
Break into pieces and serve straight from the freezer.

Estimated from the ingredients listed above; actual values will vary with brands and swaps.

Tips & swaps

Whisk the protein powder in thoroughly, clumps of dry powder taste chalky once frozen.
Any sugar-free sandwich cookie works, crush them with your hands or a rolling pin in a zip-top bag.
Portion by servings (3 pieces), not by piece, this is the one in the book worth actually measuring out if protein is the goal.
