Some thoughts and discussions from me.
4 Ingredient Protein Cookie Dough Dip
Hey guys! How’s your week going?
After a lifting + hill sprint sesh on Friday, a tough spin class on Saturday, and a long day of skiing on Sunday, come Monday morning my body was screaming, “REST!!!”
So, I listened to it, especially since I had a volleyball game that evening. Remember that post about listening to your body that I wrote not too long ago? Well, note to self: next time pay attention to the whispers before it becomes a yell. Unfortunately for me, that yell was a sore throat and achey shoulder.
Because of this, what should have been one rest day is now turning into a few rest days. Moral of the story: listen to your body.
Do I get any points for listening to my taste buds? 😉
Earlier this week, I found myself getting creative in the kitchen, and whipped up this 4-ingredient protein cookie dough dip:

Guys, this recipe is so stupideasy that I almost feel silly calling it a recipe. However, once I tasted it I knew I had to share it with ya’ll. My peanut butter cup protein bites ended up being a big hit, so I know you’ll enjoy this one.
4-Ingredient Protein Cookie Dough
- 8 oz. plain Greek yogurt (I used Fage brand)
- 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I used Quest’s Vanilla Milkshake)
- 2T. peanut butter (I used Jif Whip’s Salted Caramel, and I think the flavor makes it!)
- 2T. chocolate chips (or cut up chocolate bar, as shown)
Ready for these super complicated instructions? Mix everything together.
That’s it.
Then eat it.
Actually, grab a pretzel, pretzel crisp, or an apple slice – then go to town 🙂
Let me know if you try it!

Listening to your body when you need more rest: are you good at that?
Anything with cookie dough screams my name 😉 But peanut butter and I aren’t such great friends. sad face 🙁 I hope you feel better! I have been getting better at listening to my body, though I’m not fantastic at it.

Bummer! I’m sure you could make it with almond butter 🙂
I’m a sucker for all things cookie dough…I’m going to have to try this! I’m getting a lot better at listening to and respecting my body, but I’m still a tad on the stubborn side.
I have become a lot better at taking rest when I need it. I used to always push myself but I have backed off from that. Sometimes the rest really is better. Have a great day!

And I do! 😉
