When I want a sweet snack but am not in the mood for something heavy, I mix up this Greek yogurt cookie dough. I wanted something high in protein that still feels like a real treat. It's got creamy yogurt, oats that keep you full, and peanut butter that tastes awesome and good for you, too.
This started out as a late-night fix when I didn't want to ruin my healthy streak but wanted something yummy. Now it's what I always snack on after the gym or grab when I need a quick afternoon boost. Never makes me feel bad either!

Greek yogurt is really what makes this whole thing work. I was looking for ways to sneak more protein into treats and discovered it's awesome in sweets, too. It's a little bit tangy so it balances out the sugar, plus it makes everything super smooth—no need for extra cream or butter.
