10 High-Protein Desserts Made in 10 Minutes or Less

April 24, 2019

It’s easy to think that sweets and protein never mix, given that most baked goods are decidedly lacking in protein status. To be fair, the muscle-building macronutrient is tops when it comes to savory dishes (chicken breasts, anyone?). But it also stars in some legitimately satisfying sweet recipes. All the more reason to add some protein to your dessert? A meal high in protein helps promote feelings of fullness for longer, reducing cravings and the chances of overeating. To have your cake and eat your protein too, try one of these protein-rich sweet recipes, most of which pack 20 or more grams of the good stuff per serving! Be sure to check out our friends at Greatist for the rest of these delightful treats! Also, if you're looking for a top quality protein powder to cook with, try one of the protein powders from PrettyFit.

10 High-Protein Desserts

1. High-Protein Cinnamon Cake Bars

Whey protein isn’t just for bodybuilders—it can actually be a versatile and tasty ingredient in all sorts of cooking! This recipe uses vanilla protein powder and protein-rich Greek yogurt to impart a rich texture to the cake bars.

2. No-Bake Cookie Dough Protein Bars

These cookie-dough bars don’t require any baking to get a great finished product. We recommend storing them into the fridge for a bit to make cutting them into squares (or whatever shape you desire) easier.

3. Double-Rich Chocolate Protein Cookies

The most impressive part of this recipe isn’t the flavor (which is pretty top-notch); it’s the secret ingredient. Chickpeas form the savory base of this sweet cookie, imparting a hearty texture and plenty of high-quality protein to the recipe.
