4 High-Protein Desserts I Ate This Week to Stay Lean

Some weeks I end up making a recipe once and moving on. Other weeks I find myself eating the same few over and over because they're easy, taste like the real thing, and help me hit my protein goals.

This week these four recipes were on repeat. Whether I wanted something cold, chocolatey, fruity, or -like, one of these always hit the spot.

If you're looking for a few new desserts to add to your rotation, start with these.

Recipes in the roundup

  1. Fruity Pebbles Ninja Creami
  2. Double Chocolate High-Protein Cheesecake
  3. High-Protein Banana Bread Skillet
    • Warm banana bread baked in a skillet with chocolate chips and vanilla protein powder for an easy breakfast or dessert.
  4. Fruity Pebbles Protein Cake Pops
    • Soft bakery-style cake pops made with real cake, vanilla protein powder, Fruity Pebbles, and a white chocolate coating.

I always try to keep a mix of frozen treats, cheesecake, baked desserts, and grab-and-go snacks in the fridge or freezer so I don't end up reaching for whatever is easiest.

If I had to pick a favorite this week, it would probably be the Fruity Pebbles Cake Pops—they taste way more like the bakery version than I expected.

Let me know which one you're making first!
